IMS Learner Information Package

Draft

Introduction

IMS Learner Information Package is a specification to model learner information. Version 1 was finalized in 2001. We do not know if this standard is used anywhere.

IMS Learner Information Package is based on a data model that describes those characteristics of a learner needed for the general purposes of:

• Recording and managing learning-related history, goals, and accomplishments;
• Engaging a learner in a learning experience;
• Discovering learning opportunities for learners.

The specification supports the exchange of learner information among learning management systems, human resource systems, student information systems, enterprise e-learning systems, knowledge management systems, resume repositories, and other systems used in the learning process. In this document such systems will be called learner information systems regardless of any other functionality they possess or roles they fulfil. The IMS Learner Information Package specification does not address requests for learner information or the exchange transaction mechanism.
