Standards Leadership

ANGEL Learning recognizes that our learning management suite is just one part of a complex network of systems that must integrate seamlessly. Our standards-based approach drives development of ANGEL LMS as an open system, simplifies integrations and lowers your total cost of ownership.

IMS Global Learning Consortium Contributing Member

A worldwide non-profit organization that develops and promotes the adoption of open technical specifications for interoperable learning technology, IMS specifications are the worldwide de facto standards for delivering learning products and services.

An IMS Contributing Member, ANGEL Learning actively participates in standards creation and management.

IMS C^c – Common Cartridge Support

ANGEL supports the Common Cartridge format for delivering course content. In fact, in 2006 when the IMS common cartridge effort presented a need for specifications and source code for content protection and user authorization, ANGEL Learning stepped in with a valuable contribution of our intellectual property – including source code – illustrating our commitment to open standards and interoperability and enabling ANGEL users to freely choose content from a wide range of providers offering extensive coverage across curricula.

IMS QTI 2.1 – Question and Test Interoperability

ANGEL’s assessment engine is built on the QTI 2.1 specification ensuring compatibility now and in the future.

IMS TI – Tools Interoperability

ANGEL supports this IMS standard that allows seamless integration with third party web applications including single sign-on and gradebook integration for results reporting.

IMS Content Packaging Information Model 1.1.4 – Content Interoperability

ANGEL interoperates with instructional materials developed in the IMS CP Information Model structure independent of authoring tools, run time environments and/or software developer.

IMS ACCLIP – Accessibility for Learner Information Packages

ANGEL is the only LMS that supports ACCLIP, allowing ANGEL to adapt to a learner’s specific accessibility needs and preferences before or after they login to the ANGEL environment. Because it is standards based, students who have defined accessibility needs in other systems can import them directly into their ANGEL profile.

School Interoperability Framework (SIF)

ANGEL Integrates with virtually any SIF standard through ANGEL XEI, enabling the seamless integration of a broad spectrum of instructional, administrative and communications tools essential to effectively addressing the needs of all learners.

ADL SCORM Certification

The Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative is a collaborative effort among government, industry, and academia to establish a new distributed learning environment that enables interoperability of learning tools and course content on a global scale. The Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) is an outcome of the ADL initiative. SCORM defines the interrelationships of course components, data models, and protocols so learning content objects are sharable across systems that conform to the model. ANGEL is committed to supporting the SCORM specification now and in the future.
