Reference architecture for teaching and learning
Terms of reference
Purpose
The aim of the ITANA Reference Architecture for Learning is to assemble a set of artifacts that provide an architectural description of the learning ecosystem. This is an area where there is huge technology churn. Consequently, there is a temptation to grasp at technology solutions without a clear roadmap of the entire problem space. This project is designed to provide such a roadmap.
Scope
The term “learning ecosystem” is used in the broadest sense to encompass everything that is required to support learning in Higher Education:
- Curriculum development and management
- Resourcing the learning process
- Learning tools (LMS and tools)
- The student’s learning plan
- Advising and assessment (including automated recommendation engines)
- Analytics
Deliverables
The project aims to complete 2 bodies of work:
- Architectural work
The architectural work builds on tools that ITANA has successfully used in the past:
- Capability maps
- Core diagrams
- A simplified TOGAF ontology
- A survey
Like the 2012 ITANA SOA survey, this exercise is designed to measure current maturity levels
Organization and schedule
An ITANA working group meets on-line on a regular basis and works through the various deliverables.
There may be a need/opportunity for a f-2-f workshop in mid 2013.
The project should be complete before EDUCAUSE 2013
