本标准规定了信息技术支持的学习、教育和培训系统的高级体系结构，描述了高级系统设计和这些系统的组件。本标准涵盖广泛的系统，通常称为学习技术、教育和培训技术、基于计算机的培训、计算机辅助教学、智能辅导等。本标准在教学上中立、内容中立、文化中立、实施中立和平台中立。本标准（1）提供了一个理解现有和未来系统的框架，（2）通过识别抽象的高级系统接口来促进互操作性和可移植性，以及（3）包含至少5-10年的技术范围（适用性），同时保持对新技术和学习技术系统的适应性。 本标准将促进通用学习技术系统配置指南（如配置文件）的制定。本标准既不是规定性的，也不是排他性的。

This Standard specifies a high level architecture for information technology-supported learning, education, and training systems that describes the high-level system design and the components of these systems. This Standard covers a wide range of systems, commonly known as learning technology, education and training technology, computer-based training, computer assisted instruction, intelligent tutoring, etc. This Standard is pedagogically neutral, content-neutral, culturally neutral, implementation-neutral, and platform-neutral. This Standard (1) provides a framework for understanding existing and future systems, (2) promotes interoperability and portability by identifying abstract, high level system interfaces, and (3) incorporates a technical horizon (applicability) of at least 5-10 years while remaining adaptable to new technologies and learning technology systems. This Standard will facilitate the development of configuration guidelines (e.g., profiles) for general learning technology systems. This Standard is neither prescriptive nor exclusive.
