State of IEEE Learning Technology Standards Committee specs as of July 2026. Working groups: https://sagroups.ieee.org/ltsc/workgroups/ — catalog: https://sagroups.ieee.org/ltsc/active-standards/

Newly published
IEEE 2247.4-2025 — Ethically Aligned Design of AI in Adaptive Instructional Systems (published March 2026).
IEEE 9274.1.1-2023 / ISO/IEC/IEEE 39274-1-1 — xAPI JSON data model and REST API. Joint publication 3 October 2025.
IEEE 2881-2025 — Learning Metadata Terms.
IEEE 2955-2025 — Self-Learning Tutorials and Side-by-Side Learning.
IEEE 1484.2-2024 — Learning and Employment Record (LER) Ecosystems.

TLA, competency, learner records
1484.20.3-2022 — Sharable Competency Definitions. Expires 31 Dec 2032. New PAR in progress.
1484.20.2-2022 — Defining Competencies. Expires 31 Dec 2032.
1484.2-2024 — LER Ecosystems. Expires 8 Aug 2034. Follow-on recommended-practices work (P1484.2) is an open-source project.
P2997 — Enterprise Learner Record. Active. Aligning the ELR data model with CEDS. No published standard yet.
P9274.2.1 — JSON-LD application profiles for xAPI / learner experience data. Ongoing refinement.
P9274.3.1 — CMI5. Alignment work continuing. CMI5 and Open Source subgroups have flagged errata in published xAPI (9274.1.1): an object-type requirement change from v1.0, and an LRS/LRP endpoint inconsistency. Under review; may need a correction PAR.
P9274.4.2 — xAPI security recommended practice. On hold.

Other active projects
P2834 — Secure and Trusted Learning Systems. Renewed PAR; kickoff 14 Apr 2026; IEEE Industrial Electronics Society co-sponsor as of 17 Jun 2026. Four subgroups forming (hardware, network, software/data/user, management/governance). Education Society lead; LTSC joint sponsor.
P2834.1 — Digital Forensics in Learning Systems. Active.
P7016.1 — Ethically Aligned Educational Metadata in XR / Metaverse. Editorial review of final sections was nearing completion in July. SSIT lead; LTSC joint sponsor.
P2247.2 — Adaptive Instructional Systems Interoperability.
P3277 — Responsible AI for [Higher] Education. New; co-sponsored with ATIC.
