Learning Interoperability Framework for Europe (LIFE) was selected in 2004 under Erasmus Transversal Actions. It was funded from 2005-2007. Per the original project description:
- The aim of the LIFE project is to improve interoperability and the use of standards in the field of e-learning by increasing the effectiveness of Learning Technology standards and specifications.
Project objectives were:
- To explore the topic of practice in e-learning interoperability, and to identify its dimensions of real importance to Europe, exploring the current state of art, the trends and challenges, the important issues to be addressed, and guidelines and recommendations for the target groups.
- To attract and involve a full range of actors from academia, government, industry, education & training, etc.
- To proactively support the dissemination of regular, tangible results, so that they can find their way into mainstream practice, by the dissemination of the project results to international and national scientific journals and conferences, to communities and associations of users and practitioners, along with enterprises and industrial organizations providing education and training services, and to political and social associations so that they can stimulate their transfer into policies development.
