CETIS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Centre for Educational Technology and Interoperability Standards (CETIS) is a United Kingdom organisation funded by JISC, the Joint Information System Committee of the UK's education funding councils. CETIS is funded and structured in a manner similar to other JISC services such as UKOLN.

CETIS is tasked with contributing to and providing information about learning technology with a particular focus on technical interoperability standards relevant to education, such as XML Schemas for educational content, learner information (and eportfolio), learning design, assessment, accessibility, enterprise systems and accessibility.

CETIS originally began operation in 1998 as the UK IMS Centre, as in its early days it was primarily an organisation devoted to the development and dissemination of open technical specifications as part of the IMS Global Learning Consortium.

Since then, CETIS has broadened its remit to work with a range of standards organizations relevant to the UK education sector.
