Becta Educational Standards & Specifications

Last year Becta published the Learning Platform Technical Specifications document. To maintain the momentum and keep pace with developments, Becta is initiating a series of activities. One of the objectives is influencing the remit and direction for both mandated and proposed standards and specifications. This activity aims to look at the current standards and those which are proposed for future development.

We will be exploring these in greater detail by asking questions and seeking answers to verify and validate a rounded viewpoint. This will provide a clearer picture which advocates both educational need and technological potential.

We would welcome your contribution to these activities given that input from the technical perspective is essential. We would particularly appreciate involvement of Network Managers, or those directly involved in the deployment of learning platforms in schools, at a workshop to be facilitated by Becta.

If you wish to be considered for inclusion in the project, please email your expression of interest to Robin Ball at robin.ball@becta.org.uk

The workshop dates will be announced shortly but please note, in order to retain a sharp focus, workshop spaces will be limited!

Those people who spotted the mention of working with Becta in various groups by me last week and have PMed me, thank you and I am passing these details onto Robin too.
