1EdTech Glossary

LTI services add functionality to core LTI to improve user experiences. These services can exist individually or all together depending on the type of product involved. Currently, the LTI Advantage services include Names and Role Provisioning Services, Deep Linking and Assignment and Grade Services, however many other extension services are under development. For more information, see the LTI Advantage Overview and Learning Tools Interoperability Project Group Activity.

This is the abbreviation for Message Authentication Code.

All 1Edtech content packaging standards (common cartridge etc) make use of a manifest which is a file that describes the contents of the package.

An XML based markup language that facilitates the use and re-use of mathematical and scientific content on the Web.

This is one of the Metric Profiles defined in the 1EdTech Caliper Standard. The Caliper Media Profile models interactions between learners and rich content such as audio, images, and video. Implementers can leverage a number of media-related entities including audio, images, and video. It is also possible to represent the current location in an audio or video stream.

Are digital labels used to specify the characteristics of a learning object. They may include information such as: Keywords, author, language, topic, reading level(s), object format (text, graphic, video), object type (content, activity, assessemnt.)

The 1EdTech Metadata standard is used to enable contextual and workflow information to be supplied about digital resources. It is derived from the IEEE Learning Object Metadata Standard [IEEE Std 1484.12.1 - 2002] and the information is exchanged in an XML format. The primary use, by 1EdTech, of this standard, is in combination with the 1EdTech Content Packaging and 1EdTech Common Cartridge/Thin Common Cartridge standards. The embedded metadata information is used to provide the context for how the resources can be used, are organized and the processes used to create the resource.

A representation of learning, awarded for completion of a short program that is focused on a discrete set of competencies (i.e., skills, knowledge, attributes), and is sometimes related to other credentials. Typically displayed using an Open Badge.

Supports the secure exchange of a list of course participants and faculty-defined groups to learning tools.

The OAuth 2.0 authorization framework enables a third-party application to obtain limited access to an HTTP service, either on behalf of a resource owner by orchestrating an approval interaction between the resource owner and the HTTP service, or by allowing the third-party application to obtain access on its own behalf. OAuth 2.0 is published as IETF RFC 6749. The 1EdTech Security Framework makes extensive use of OAuth 2.0.

• OAuth 2 Scopes – scopes are an optional feature in OAuth 2.0 to label the conditions for obtaining an access token. Use of OAuth 2.0 scopes is mandatory in 1EdTech service-based specifications.
