AICC News Blog

It is with great sadness that we received the news on Monday of the passing of Claude Ostyn. The learning technology community has lost one of its shining lights. Claude has been a major contributor from the earliest days to many many areas of learning technology, from the AICC CMI spec to SCORM to metadata, and most recently in the area of competencies and competency management. It would be a very difficult task indeed to cite all of the contributions Claude has made to our community, but there is no doubt that his legacy and spirit will live on. Claude represented the best of what honest debate and intelligent discourse can produce. Those of you who had the opportunity to work with Claude know this well. He will be surely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Claude's family and friends.

The AICC concluded a successful and productive meeting in Sestri Levante, Italy on June 6th and joined 150 additional participants from Europe and across the globe for the Training in Action event that ran June 7-8 and was also hosted by Giunti Labs. The AICC again expresses their gratitude to our knowledgeable, insightful and friendly hosts for the opportunity to share and learn about so many exciting projects.

For more information about the activities and presentations at the June AICC meeting, please see the AICC Online Meeting Summary and the AICC Online Meeting Presentation Archive pages.

Giunti Labs has also published a Training in Action 2007 Report online.
