Abstract

Learners are assessed by several systems during their life-long learning. Those systems can maintain fragments of information about a learner derived from his learning performance and/or assessment in that particular system. Customization services would perform better if they would be able to exchange as many relevant fragments of information about the learner as possible. This paper presents the conceptualization and implementation of a framework which provides a common base for the exchange of learner profiles between several sources. The exchange representation of learner profiles is based on standards. An API is designed and implemented to create/export and manipulate such learner profiles. The API is implemented for two cases, as a Java API and as web services with synchronized model exchange between multiple sources. Application cases of the API are discussed shortly as well.
