scope:

This standard describes an ECMAScript application programming interface (API) for content-to-runtime-services communication. This standard is based on an API defined in the "CMI Guidelines for Interoperability," version 3.4 [B1]¹, defined by the Aviation Industry CBT Committee (AICC). It defines common API services in the ECMAScript language that enables the communication of information between learning-related content, and a runtime service (RTS) used to support learning management. This standard does not address the data structures that may be transmitted, data security, or communication between an RTS and a related management system.

Purpose

There is widespread acknowledgment that the ECMAScript API for content-to-runtime-services communication defined in the AICC "CMI Guidelines for Interoperability," version 3.4, has broad applicability to systems used for learning management. The purpose of this standard is to build consensus around, resolve ambiguities in, and correct defects in this ECMAScript API for exchanging data between learning-related content and a runtime service used to support learning management.
