RE: Education & Awareness

[Alan Kotok <akotok@disa.org>]

Mike, Rachel, et al.

One of my tasks from Brussels is to prepare an education plan for ebXML, on 
which I have started work.  In the plan, I will propose a set of learning 
objectives beginning with awareness of ebXML and building up to concrete 
skills enabling application of ebXML concepts to realistic business 
scenarios.  The plan will also recommend delivery mechanisms and media for 
achieving those objectives.

Another promising area is the emerging professional certification movement 
for e-business.  DISA is taking part in the EC Institute that is developing 
a body of knowledge expressed in a set of learning objectives that reflect 
the skills needed by e-business professionals, both technical and 
managerial.  I intend to coordinate the ebXML training plan with the EC 
Institute's certification activities.

Mike, if you have no objections, I would like to ask you to comment the 
draft training plan.  I may not be able to complete it until next month 
however.  June is getting a little busy.  Best regards.
