It includes a set of technical specifications, standards, and policy guidance that define a uniform approach for integrating current and emerging learning technologies into a learning services ecosystem. Within this ecosystem, multiple services, and learning opportunities (of various modalities and points of delivery) can be managed in an integrated, interoperable 'plug and play' environment.As Program Manager for the ADL Initiative, Dr. Phillips directs all SETA staff, contract actions, and deliverable production for the ADL team and its subcontractors on behalf of the ADL Director.
