The Australian Department of Education Science and Training (DEST) and the Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative (ADL) are proud to announce Advancing ADL through Global Collaboration, an international forum on the future of ADL technologies. The Forum will be held 4-6 October 2005 at the Hilton on the Park in Melbourne, Australia. The Forum is preceded by an ADL Technical Workshop on 3 October 2005.
Purpose
The primary purpose of the international forum is to consider strategic directions for the internationalisation of SCORM, CORDRA and relationships with the S1000D performance support community. The forum will also address opportunities for integrating emerging ADL technologies such as gaming, simulation and intelligent tutoring into learning, training and performance support environments.
In hosting the Forum, DEST and ADL hope to achieve a sense of international direction and agreed action regarding the future of ADL technologies.
Format
The Forum will include opportunities to share intelligence on the deployment of SCORM, CORDRA and S1000D. The event will include leading-edge demonstrations of the use of SCORM, CORDRA and S1000D. Key international experts will present position statements on the future of ADL technologies and requirements for international collaboration.
Workshop and plenary sessions will be used to facilitate discussion on business models for sustaining the further development of SCORM and CORDRA and to clarify the role of key standards-making agencies in assisting with the evolution of these technologies.
Who should attend?
Representatives of peak national government bodies responsible for the development of learning infrastructure, and other international agencies/organisations with an interest in various aspects of learning infrastructure development. Companies with a vested interest in learning infrastructure. Defence related communities who wish to understand the potential uses of an integrated SCORM/S1000D technical platform.
ADL Technical Workshop
An ADL Technical Workshop is being held the day before the Forum on 3rd October 2005. The workshop is aimed at implementers of ADL technologies and will provide technical updates on the status of SCORM, CORDRA and S1000D. The workshop will include opportunities to share best practices for implementing these ADL technologies.
The workshop is open to all interested parties. It is possible to attend the workshop without attending the Forum.
