The Open Knowledge Initiative is a collaboration among leading universities and specification and standards organisations to support innovative learning technology in higher education. The result of this collaboration is an open and extensible architecture that specifies how the components of an educational software environment communicate with each other and with other enterprise systems. O.K.I. provides a modular development platform for building both traditional and innovative applications while leveraging existing and future infrastructure technologies. O.K.I. is designed for broad adoption in the higher education domain. It provides a stable, scalable base that supports the flexibility needed by higher education and commercial developers of educational software.
