Today’s Agenda
• What are the most important LMS features you would pick to support World-Class Education?
• What are the needs at Stanford and MIT?• What is OKI?
– Architectural Specifications, Reference Implementation, and Support Strategy
– Learning Summit and Residency Program– Partners, Early Adopters, and Interoperable Vendors
• Questions and Answers
March 19, 2001 3
How Do You Answer the Question?
How can we provide web-based support for educational initiatives across the Institute?
• Scalable (both large and small)
• Sustainable (at least 5 years!)
• Security, Privacy, Intellectual Property
• Integrate with existing systems
• Provide strong pedagogical support

Four Key Areas for Learning1. Learner-Centered: what you already know
shapes what you can and will learn
2. Knowledge-Centered: build knowledge and understanding, not just a catalog of disconnected facts
3. Assessment: test for understanding and knowledge, and encourage improvement
4. Community-Centered: when the people around you value learning, you will too.
(How People Learn, National Research Council, 1999)

Stanford’s Needs
A new approach:– Rather than straightjackets and stovepipes,
integration and flexibility– Collaboration – Cost effective, sustainable decisions
March 19, 2001 8
Stanford’s Needs
• Flexible features for a diverse and innovative instructional staff
• Ability to add new features very quickly
• Sustainability and supportability
• Integration with infrastructure--course data, libraries, authentication and authorization standards

Learning Systems Summit
• Assessing the Learning in LMSs:– Gather current knowledge about technology mediated learning
• How do existing LMSs implement and support different pedagogical approaches?– Differentiating tools for communication, collaboration content
delivery, etc.
• Outcomes:– White paper– Inform direction of OKI 1.0 and beyond– Development guidelines for supporting diversity in teaching styles
• When? Mid April
March 19, 2001 21
OKI Residency Program
• OKI Fellows join MIT-based team– OKI partner desired competencies
• Pedagogical Research (OKI-Teach)
• Architecture/Design
• Development Resources
– Two Phases of Residency• 1: Architecture, design and development
• 2: Implementation and Support
