INCITS Announces the Establishment of a New Technical Committee INCITS/Education

March 23, 2023 – INCITS Announces the Establishment of a New Technical Committee INCITS/Education

 

At the March 2023 INCITS Executive Board meeting, a new Technical Committee (TC), INCITS/Education, was established. The TC will serve as the U.S. TAG to ISO/IEC JTC 1 Subcommittee 36 - Information Technology for Learning, Education and Training.

The scope of work is standardization in the field of information technologies for learning, education, and training to support individuals, groups, or organizations, and to enable interoperability and reusability of resources and tools.

Excluded from this scope are:

  • standards or technical reports that define educational standards (competencies), cultural conventions, learning objectives, or specific learning content.
  • work done by other ISO or IEC TCs, SCs, or WGs with respect to their component, specialty, or domain. Instead, when appropriate, normative or informative references to other standards shall be included. Examples include documents on special topics such as multimedia, web content, cultural adaptation, and security.

RSVPs for the meeting should be submitted to Bill Ash (bash@itic.org) as soon as possible.

Organizational Meeting – Tuesday, May 23, 2023. The organizational meeting of the new TC on INCITS/Education will be held electronically via Zoom on Tuesday, May 23, 2023 (1:00 PM to 4:00 PM (Eastern) / 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM (Pacific)).

The agenda, related documents, and instructions for joining the Zoom meeting will be distributed in advance to organizational representatives that have requested membership on the new committee.
