Processes Reference Model for Interoperability in Learning Object Environments

In the e-learning there are efforts to use interoperable learning environments, nevertheless there are significant limitations that make it difficult to achieve. In this paper it is proposed a Process Reference Model for Interoperability in e-learning that describes the activities that universities could follow to implement interoperable learning environments. The foundations of this research are the Mexican Standard for Interoperability between Learning Objects and the findings of interviews with Mexican Universities with experience in the learning technologies. A total of 106 activities were identified and described from different processes and approaches. We consider that this proposal could guide to the universities in implementing interoperable environments for e-learning.
