FROM LMS FRAGMENTATION TO INTEROPERABLE DIGITAL LEARNING ECOSYSTEMS: APPLYING LTI, xAPI AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS IN UZBEKISTAN

Аннотация

Universities in emerging digital economies have spent the last decade buying learning technology faster than they have learned to connect it. The result is a familiar paradox: institutions own a learning-management system, a video platform, an assessment engine, a plagiarism checker and a growing list of specialised tools, yet these systems rarely speak to one another, forcing duplicate logins, fragmented data and brittle custom integrations. This paper argues that the binding constraint on digital learning in Uzbekistan is no longer the availability of platforms but their interoperability, and it proposes a standards-based architecture built on the 1EdTech family of specifications, principally Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI 1.3 and LTI Advantage), together with the Experience API (xAPI) and Caliper Analytics for learning-data exchange. We combine a documentary review of the relevant standards with an architectural analysis of integration cost and a capability mapping across SCORM, LTI, xAPI and Caliper, and we illustrate the operational payoff with a before-and-after model of a typical institution. The analysis shows that an interoperabilityfirst strategy converts a quadratic integration burden into a linear one, removes data silos, and lays the foundation for the learning analytics that quality assurance and the Digital Uzbekistan 2030 agenda increasingly demand.
