Notes

cmi5 vs TinCan "Package" comparison document

The group reviewed the last changes to executive summary portion of the document.

cmi5 introductory statements

The comparison document discussion lead to another discussion on succinctly crystallizing what cmi5 is.

The group reviewed the "What is cmi5?" introduction statement on the website (http://aicc.github.io/CMI-5_Spec_Current/) and discussed ideas for better "one-liners" to introduce cmi5. These are intended to create interest and get the audience to what to learn more about cmi5 details.

The following statements were compiled in a brainstorming session:

• cmi5 is a new technology SCORM replacement that uses xAPI
• cmi5 is a new “plug-n-play” standard for replacing SCORM with xAPI
• cmi5 is next generation SCORM with performance analytics
• cmi5 is the “way forward” from SCORM
• cmi5 is the way to get from SCORM to xAPI
• cmi5 is 21st century way to track your content
• cmi5 enables (xAPI-based) content delivery (portability) between LMS systems
• cmi5 enables standardized reporting for xAPI content
• cmi5 enables visualization of learning pathways
• SCORM is where is you are, xAPI is where you want to be, cmi5 is how to get there.
• Control the learner experience between activities with cmi5
• Deliver learning from anywhere to anywhere with cmi5
• Deliver learning in the learner’s workflow with cmi5
• Deliver learning at the “moment of need” with cmi5
• cmi5 aggregates distributed learning in cloud and blending learning environments
• cmi5 promotes data integrity and security for learner data collection
• cmi5 enables (meter able, auditable, chargeable) content as a service

These introductions follow 2 basic approaches :

1. Explain cmi5 without mentioning xAPI
   • In the context of SCORM
   • What it can do for you
2. Explain cmi5 in the context of xAPI
   • Why xAPI by itself doesn't meet the needs
