This is a longish article about the recent successes of IMS Global (the learning standards organization). If I had to sum up the thesis in just one quote, it would be this: "Market pressures now favor interoperability. The same companies that were the most resistant to developing and implementing useful interoperability standards in 2007 are among the most aggressive champions of interoperability today. This is not to say that foundational interoperability work is 'over.' Far from it. Rather, the conditions finally exist where it can move forward as it should, still hard but relatively unimpeded by the distortions of a dysfunctional market."
