Abstract

With the improvement of Internet technologies and multimedia resources, traditional learning has been replaced by distance learning, web-based learning, or other e-learning learning styles. According to distance learning, there are many research organizations and companies who make efforts in developing relevant systems, but they lack interoperability. The only way to reuse these applications is to redevelop them for specific purposes. In order to solve this situation and norm the various learning resources, IMS proposes a new e-learning standard named “Common Cartridge.” This standard not only integrates the past e-learning standards like LOM, SCORM, and QTI, but also proposes a technical architecture, called Learning Tools Interoperability, to make reusable applications among different systems without programming again. In this chapter, the authors firstly introduce the current e-learning environment. Then the authors pay attention to the usage of Common Cartridge standards and discuss the architecture of Learning Tools Interoperability. According to these, the authors point out the e-learning standard that could be widely utilized in the future.
