and conformance (<a href="http://datainteroperability.org/" target="_blank">http://datainteroperability.org/</a> ), and Anthony Whyte of the University of Michigan, who has been centrally involved in recent IMS Caliper developments. If you have any interest
in this area - which is emerging as a major area of activity for Apereo - please attend.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">The drive to deliver education at scale coupled with a demand for accountability backed by measurability has spurred the application of “big data” principles to the business of education. Opportunities to
tap new data sources have grown as both the learning technology ecosystem has expanded and the definition of what constitutes learning has evolved beyond the formal classroom experience to include informal, social and experiential modes of acquiring knowledge
and skills. The challenges implicit | inherent in describing, collecting and exchanging learner activity data originating from such diverse sources are formidable. In response, two learning technology specifications, ADL’s xAPI and IMS Global’s Caliper Analytics,
now offer standardized approaches that aim to address the data and semantic interoperability issues inherent in the blending | sharing of learning data between systems. For both communities, early work has focused on developing a RESTful architecture for
mediating machine-to-machine data exchange and grappling with the challenge of defining an information model and controlled vocabularies that leverage semantic web principles and practices. Join Aaron Silvers and Anthony Whyte for a lively discussion of the
current state and possible futures of both xAPI and Caliper.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
