This subtopic covers the critical role of technical standards in ensuring seamless system-to-system communication, which reduces operational burden and facilitates data-driven decision-making for buyers and policy makers.
Application Example: Solutions are designed with mandatory adherence to interoperability standards like xAPI (for learning experience data from multiple platforms to a common learning record store) and LTI (to enable single sign-on and seamless integration into an LMS) or other single sign-on protocols. This architectural decision removes data silos and addresses the customer need for enterprise use of data and most effectively meeting each stakeholder’s needs, not just learners.
