Online communities
Several online collaboration communities exist to support the work being done in the MLE space. New members are always welcome.
Data Sharing Framework
If you are interested in interoperability initiatives, then you'll find this discussion group useful.
Specifications, schema, test plans, test scripts, and timelines are all available on this Yahoo! Group. As well as SMS and LMS vendors, the site is also relevant to other school application vendors with an interest in interoperability, school technicians and researchers/observers. Joining this group will give you access to the specifications and background documentation on managed learning environment initiatives.
