1. The Open Innovation Revolution: Enable 10-100X Improvement in Adoption of Digital Learning www.imsglobal.org • IMS Global Learning Consortium • Non-profit alliance of institutions and suppliers collaborating to break the status quo of closed, proprietary systems that make the use of digital technology difficult to use for teaching and learning • Institutions can become more agile by simply requiring supplier conformance to 3 proven IMS standards: • Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) - Establishes a standard way of integrating rich learning applications with platforms like learning management systems, portals, or other educational environments. • Common Cartridge (CC)- Provides a way to represent digital course materials, including assessments and discussion forums, for use in online learning systems. Content can be developed in one format and then used across a wide variety of learning systems.     • Learning Information Services (LIS) - Enables interoperability between teaching and learning applications and student information systems; allowing student data, class data and grades to move seamlessly between systems. • Adoption enables any application to seamlessly plug into another without requiring costly and timely custom integrations
