ICICLE Update and June 2025 Community Call with Andy Johnson, Specifications and Standards Manager for Advanced Distributed Learning and Chair, IEEE Standards Association Learning Technology Standards Committee (LTSC) Learning Metadata Standard and xAPI Profiles Standard Working Groups
The ICICLE monthly community call is June 18th at 12pm ET. Exploring how learning technology standards can be applied to components in the learning engineering process, Andy Johnson, Specifications and Standards Manager for Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative and Vice-Chair, IEEE Standard Association Learning Technology Standards Committee, will focus on how the IEEE P2881 Learning Metadata standard will get learning activities identified, tagged, and online to describe learning experiences and ensure discoverability and context. Andy is a leader in developing learning technology standards. He is currently the Chair of IEEE P2881 Learning Metadata Working Group and Chair of IEEE P9274.2.1 xAPI Profiles Working Group, author of Total Learning Architecture Standards Digital Learning Acquisition Techniques and one of the original developers of SCORM.
We’ll be meeting via Webex. (See details below with meeting code and password.) It is scheduled for one hour’s length. Full agenda will be posted here.
