The O.K.I. Role
The eLearning Systems project works with O.K.I. and
the IMS Global Learning Consortium to understand how granular content is
assembled, reused, and tracked within a learning environment, and how the
systems managing this content authenticate users and control access to
each learning object in the environment.
The existing O.K.I. Service Interface Definitions enable
the use of authentication and authorization services provided by any system
that supports O.K.I., regardless of whether those services are provided
by an LDAP server, an NT domain server, or Kerberos.
