I understand why you would think that, but if you look at the scene right after, you'll see Daliah<a href="http://xayolzd.com"> cyring</a> while President Taylor is behind her. Hi Michael- Just to clarify, IMS is not tyinrg to build its own app store. Our job is to enable any supplier or institution to build an app store based on open standards. In fact, we are aware of several other suppliers doing similar things but Instructure has been the most prominent (so far). So, IMS doesn't see what Instructure doing as a threat. In fact we think it is great because it is a step in continuing to open up the market and achieve plug and play, 1-click integrations. But, you will be hearing about other competing efforts in the coming days, weeks, months. IMS has launched is for interested parties to build a reference implementation to help work out certain issues and further accelerate this approach in the market. As the out, we have a number of universities that want to cooperate on this and the project will include peer-to-peer cooperation between app stores. The only thing IMS is potentially concerned about is suppliers claiming they have apps that are LTI compliant when they really are just custom Javascript integrated apps that aren't cross platform. Unfortunately, Instructure does have quite a few of those listed on their site which is potentially confusing to the market. In other words, many of the listed apps that will only work with Instructure and are not really certified to be LTI compliant. That's why we have our and so that there is a source of truth on what has really tested to be cross platform. But, all in all this is a VERY positive development in the next generation of the LMS as you describe! - http://qpicztpmn.com [url=http://ixgcmp.com]ixgcmp[/url] [link=http://extnemmtdh.com]extnemmtdh[/link]
