Interoperability Standards for MicroLearning

For institutional teaching, learning objects need to be linked into a Learning Management System (LMS). The SCORM and AICC standards have enabled the platform-independent creation of such learning objects, but newer standards like Common Cartridge (CC) and xAPI supersede this. MicroLearning in particular has specific requirements, especially when applied in mobile learning, which can be met by these new standards. This paper will provide an overview and a comparison of the various standards and the implications of their application in MicroLearning contexts.
