The IMS Global Learning Consortium (IMS) dedicated an entire day to the Global Learning Resource Connection (GLRC) during the recent quarterly international workshops on Wednesday, November 16, 2010. The attendees represented countries from around the world including the U.S. Department of Education, Australia, the Netherlands, Korea, Germany, UK, and more. European Schoolnet was in attendance representing 27 countries and demonstrated the IMS/GLRC integration. The IMS international workshops were held at Lone Star College in The Woodlands, Texas.

JES & Co. announced today that they have joined IMS Global Learning Consortium as a Contributing Member to support development of interoperability standards for the K12 Common Cartridge Curriculum Standards project. This work will be part of the Common Cartridge v1.1 release, which will enable curriculum standards (e.g. learning objectives) to be contained with the learning materials of a Common Cartridge. As a result, teachers will gain greater precision in identifying appropriate materials for their students and schools can more systematically track student progression.
