Wiki home page for the OASIS DITA Learning Content Subcommittee

Welcome! The URL for this page is: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/LearningSubcommittee

The formal name of the subcommittee is "The OASIS DITA Learning and Training Content Specialization Subcommittee".

Purpose

The OASIS DITA Learning and Training Content Specialization Sub-committee formed in August, 2006, with the following purpose:

Develop a general top-level design for structured, intent-based authoring of learning content with good learning architecture, following DITA principles and best practices.

Current activities

The subcommittee meets monthly on third Thursdays at 11 am to 12 noon US EST. The samples workgroup meets monthly on first Thursdays at 11 am to 12 noon US EST.

Current Status

April, 2009: We have completed work and readied a specification for a DITA specialization for learning and training content, including DTD and XSD schemas, architecture overviews, language reference, sample content, and starter-kit processing for XHTML and SCORM. The DITA Technical Committee has approved this specification for inclusion as part of the DITA 1.2 package to be submitted for OASIS review in 2009.

What is the DITA 1.2 learning and training content specialization?

The DITA 1.2 learning and training content specialization specifies a set of specialized DITA topics, a learning interactions domain, a learning metadata domain, and a learning map domain to support creating and delivering structured learning content with DITA.

For details and samples, see Overview of the DITA 1.2 learning and training content specialization.
