The core O.K.I. deliverable is an architectural specification for educational application development. Its design is founded on several features which will ensure its continued viability in step with diverse and evolving technology and pedagogical systems.

It's comprised of two service layers defined by a series of implementation independent Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). The bottom layer, Common Services, provides fundamental services, such as Authentication and File Management. This layer is designed to allow smooth integration with enterprise infrastructure. The second layer, Educational Services, will provide a set of services specific to educational applications, such as Course Management or Assessment tools.
