On yesterday's call we discussed the structure that is used within curricula. In the granularity element, we give the example of a curriculum with the following structure, going from coarsest grain to finest grain component. Year = 1 Phase = 2 Module = 3 Course = 4 Lesson = 5 Please reply to this note letting me know what structure you use in your curriculum. We will discuss the results on the next working group call. In addition, please take a piece of your curriculum and try to model it using the spec. There is nothing that can inform the spec development better than your real world applications of the model!

We do like to highlight work done by members of our working groups, so if you have an innovation you would like to share that leverages learning technologies, I would encourage you to submit an abstract. Innovation may be technical, pedagogical, or both. We are seeking abstracts related to the following topics: * Educational technology research * Virtual patients and simulations * Electronic portfolios * E-learning repositories and content interchange * Data Exchange supporting professional development and certification * MedBiquitous standards implementation * Solutions for competence measurement and tracking We're excited to have Peter Pronovost as our keynote speaker this year!

I don't know if we will have time to discuss on the call today, but the MedBiquitous Technical Steering Committee has issued a new recommendation related to extensibility: Recommendation: Working groups should strategically allow extensibility to schema elements, adding extensibility only where they think it is needed. Added elements must have a namespace qualifier. XtensibleInfo should be maintained in revisions of existing standards to maintain backward compatibility. Documentation should indicate that XtensibleInfo is included for backward compatibility and is not the preferred method of extension. This is a technical recommendation. It would be a minor change to the spec. Talk to you soon, Valerie Valerie Smothers Deputy Director MedBiquitous vsmothers at jhmi.edu +1-410-735-6142 www.medbiq.org Call for Abstracts!

Please note Room 3617 in your calendar! Thank you again for registering to attend sessions we will be hosting in a suite at the Hyatt Regency, Colorado Convention Center, during the AAMC Annual Meeting in Denver, CO. We have been informed that the suite to which we have been assigned is Room #3617. Please do not try to locate the suite by the name in previous messages, as we have learned the hotel does not use suite names to indicate their locations. Instead, simply look for Room #3617. We apologize for any confusion this may cause. Thank you - I look forward to seeing you in Denver!
