Description / Abstract:
This part of ISO/IEC TS 29140 provides guidance regarding
learning, education and training (LET) situations in which learners
are nomadic (travel from place to place, from one location to
another or require access to services as they travel to different
locations). It can be used as a reference by software developers,
implementers, instructional designers, and others to ensure that
LET environments reflect the specific needs of these learners.
Specifically, this part of ISO/IEC TS 29140 provides
—a definition of nomadicity within LET,
—a nomadicity reference model indicating the elements
required to support learners engaged in activities within LET
environments that involve nomadicity,
—a description of the elements and relationships between
the elements, and
—an introduction to the characteristics of nomadicity that
impact on LET activities.
This part of ISO/IEC TS 29140 also identifies ITLET standards
and fields of standardization within ITLET impacted by nomadicity
and may be used as a basis for further standardization work and
harmonization efforts.
This part of ISO/IEC TS 29140 is intended to support
interoperability by providing a nomadicity reference model that can
be used by developers, implementers, instructional designers, and
others. ISO/IEC TS 29140-2 provides a learner information model
specific to mobile learning that can be used as a reference by
software developers, implementers, instructional designers,
teachers, instructors, and others to ensure that LET environments
reflect the specific needs of mobile learners.
It is essential to differentiate between nomadicity and mobile
learning approaches because the former is considered to be
independent of the ICT involved. A concise view and understanding
is needed of how nomadic learners' needs and requirements can be
met using standardization efforts. The focus of this part of
ISO/IEC TS 29140 is to ensure that not only is the concept of
"nomadicity" understood, but that the user needs and requirements
have been addressed.
