1 So we wish to move ahead and enter a world moving with Internet Speed ...
2 But neither us nor the world we move in knows quite what we want to do
3 We need to set standards so that our infrastructure and content can be largely reused
4 If we start now with public domain or commercial systems like "mine", "yours", WebCT, Blackboard, CAPA then how can we do this so can evolve as technology changes
5 We could ask system provider to support "standards" but this is not very helpful if standards are insufficient
6 Educause IMS (www.imsproject.org) and IEEE P1484 are working on standards (which will be expressed in XML) but currently they seem far from being sufficient.
