23. © 2015 IMS Global Learning Consortium, Inc. All Rights Reserved Why Caliper? Standardization : encourage a common, extensible yet structured approach to describing, collecting and transporting learner interaction data for later consumption by researchers, educators, platforms, apps and services. Innovation: provide a extensible data model, controlled vocabularies and an API that enables new uses of learner interaction data. Interoperability : promote data exchange, sharing, mashups between systems, institutions and people. Stewardship : evolve an EDU-optimized technical specification under the auspices of IMS Global and its member institutions and organizations.

All Rights Reserved Caliper fundamentals Information model: standardized set of learning activity profiles & controlled vocabularies that extend set of foundational metrics. API: governs the interactions between Caliper, apps, platforms, services, event store(s). Sensor: code library designed to simplify instrumentation of platforms/apps/services. Multiple bindings: Java, JS, Ruby, Python, PHP,.Net. Conformance: test suite ensuring implementation compliance. Dev community: docs, presentations, bootcamps, reference implementations.
