Forum programme

Advancing ADL through Global Collaboration Forum
Date: 4-6 October 2005
Place: Hilton on the Park, Melbourne
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Cost: AUD $385 (including GST)

The purpose of the three-day forum is for the international community to share intelligence and to develop positions on the deployment of SCORM, CORDRA and S1000D.

International experts will present position statements and lead discussions on the future of ADL technologies and requirements for international collaboration. The event will include leading-edge demonstrations of the use of SCORM, CORDRA and S1000D.

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.
