Framework and tools strand Aims -
• Develop a generic technical framework for e-learning that supports a wide range of pedagogical models and institutional types.
• Develop open source toolkits and interfaces to facilitate implementation at an institutional level.
• Establish institutional pilots to evaluate the generic technical framework and the tools that facilitate implementation.
• Develop practical guidelines and toolkits to enable institutions to install and implement the technical framework as the basic structure of an e-learning system

Aim
• producing and testing a common technical framework to underpin e-learning system and developing integration toolkits to support the frameworks adoption.

Strand Structure
1) Develop and refine the Framework throughout strand lifecycle in collaboration with broader e-learning and educational technology development community.2) Fund an interactive cycle of technical development projects to produce software libraries that enable developers (from commercial as well as open-source communities) to create applications that ‘Provide Services ’ and ‘Consume Services’ defined within the framework. 3) Fund a cycle demonstrator projects are aimed at testing the service definitions and toolkits in actual use. 4) Commission a series of supporting studies to support frameworks development.

Framework Approach
• Breaks MLE function into smaller components call ‘services’
• Organise into layer model, dependant on service they offer (Service Orientated Architecture )
• Use ‘web services’ and open standards to integrate components

Progress to date
• First 8 integration toolkits released• First Demonstrator projects selected• 2nd round of Toolkits selected • Framework website • ELF developer forum launched • Linked to DEL – call for ELF reference
models• Expanding ELF to cover research and
introducing stewardship model • Rename – Open Technology Framework

Programme Structure 1
Development Activity Short (6mth) iterative development cycles Technical Dev project strand (800K)• 3 x 6mth pure technical development • Provide libraries (not complete applications) to support
deployment of services and service consumers • Support development of both commercial and open-source
applications• Enable deployment of service-oriented architectures within
education• Aim to demonstrate practical web service architectureDemonstration project strand (600k) • 3x6mth of test toolkits to link systems• implement and pilot toolkits to join-up or enhance functionality
of e-learning system • to trial toolkits (that is install, test, demonstrate and evaluate),
lead to improvements Supporting Studies (3x30k)
