Draft AICC Offline CMI Specification CMI-009 Now Available for Comment

The AICC has released Draft 2.4 of its Offline CMI Specification (CMI-009) for review and comment as per discussions in the Feb 2009 AICC Singapore meeting. CMI-009 defines a communication mechanism that allows server-based ("Online") LMS systems to sychronize with client-based ("Offline") LMS players so that nomadic learners can view training content while disconnected from the internet and still have LMS tracking. CMI-009 Draft 2.4 leverages the following existing (relased) AICC specifications:

• CMI-001 AICC/CMI Guidelines For Interoperability
• CMI-012 AICC Packaging Guidelines
• CMI-013 XML for CMI Communication

Current and previous drafts of CMI-009 are available at the following location:
