Prediction #1: “Learning slop” will create a signal-to-noise problem, catalyzing demand for data provenance standards
2026 Top Ten Predictions: “Learning slop” will create a signal-to-noise problem, catalyzing demand for data provenance standards.
Explain it Like I’m 5: What Are Learning Technology Standards, and Why Do I Need Them?
Join the founding board of the Institute for Infrastructure and Interoperable Data in Learning (I2IDL) for a plain-language introduction to the learning data ecosystem. We'll cut through the jargon and explain how standards like xAPI enable your learning systems to talk to each other, why "instrumentation" matters for understanding what's actually working in your training programs, and what it means when someone says they're doing "learning engineering."
Recognition of I2IDL by the IEEE LTSC
Today’s recognition of I2IDL by the IEEE Learning Technology Standards Committee is an important moment as we move into the first year of our work.
Ensuring Learning and Training Data Infrastructure and Interoperability Research Beyond ADL
Introducing I2IDL — an institute designed to meet a new set of challenges facing infrastructure and interoperability research.
