LETSI's Mission

LETSI promotes increased global adoption of e-learning by:

• Supporting the global adoption of interoperability standards.
• Providing leadership and vision across market sectors: compulsory education, higher education, corporate training, professional training and certification, and other adopters.
• Facilitating participation by all stakeholders, including communities with limited resources - often those with the greatest need for e-learning solutions.
• Harmonizing the activities of multiple specification development and standards-setting organizations.
• Incorporating into our interoperability models only open standards, developed in an open process and available without encumbrance to all players. LETSI neither develops interoperability specifications nor certifies them as international standards. 

LETSI Community Spans Market, National Boundaries

Representatives from Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Norway, Singapore, Switzerland, Tunisia, the United Kingdom, and the United States assembled at the London Institute for Education in March 2007 to discuss the formation of LETSI. The group included representatives from national standards bodies, learning industry associations, learning technology vendors, and e-learning innovators from academia, industry, and government.
