Full title and description
Information technology for learning, education and training — Learner mobility achievement information (LMAI). This international standard defines a formally structured model for recording and exchanging institutionally attested learner achievement information (including refinements to represent a digital diploma supplement) between student information systems and third‑party aggregators.
Abstract
This document specifies an information model (the LMAI model) for the recording and exchange of official learner achievement information among student information systems (SIS) and for aggregation by third‑party suppliers. It includes refinements to represent the digital diploma supplement (DDS) and is intended to enable interoperable exchange of institutionally attested achievement data to support learner mobility. The model focuses on formally structured, official achievement records rather than the full spectrum of learner mobility information.

Scope
The standard defines the LMAI information model for the representation, recording and exchange of officially attested learner achievement information within formal learning contexts to facilitate international learner mobility. It covers core data elements and structure needed for transcripts, award statements and digital diploma supplement representations, and for their interoperable exchange between student information systems and external aggregators or credentialing services. It does not attempt to represent every aspect of learner mobility (e.g., informal learning portfolios) beyond institutionally attested achievement reports.
Key topics and requirements
- Definition of the Learner Mobility Achievement Information (LMAI) data model and core data elements for institutional achievement records.
- Refinements and mappings to represent a Digital Diploma Supplement (DDS) within the model.
- Guidance for exchange between Student Information Systems (SIS) and third‑party aggregators.
- Structure and semantics to support interoperable transcript/award exchange across jurisdictions.
- Conformance considerations for implementers exchanging official achievement information.
Typical use and users
Implemented by student information system vendors, university/college registrars, credential-evaluation services, digital credential and transcript exchange platforms, e‑portfolio vendors, national qualification bodies and software integrators who need interoperable exchange of official learner achievement records to support mobility, admissions and recognition activities.
Related standards
Published within ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 36 (Information technology for learning, education and training). Related and complementary standards from SC 36 include metadata and learning resource standards (for example ISO/IEC 19788 series), competency and proficiency information models (for example ISO/IEC 20006 parts), e‑portfolio and related LET models and other SC36 work items that address interoperability, metadata and competency exchange. Implementers typically consider LMAI alongside these SC36 outputs and sector specifications when designing end‑to‑end learner data exchange.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO/IEC 19479:2019 is an international standard that specifies the Learner Mobility Achievement Information (LMAI) model for recording and exchanging officially attested learner achievement information between student information systems and third‑party aggregators.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers the information model, core data elements and refinements needed to represent formal achievement records and the digital diploma supplement for interoperable exchange; it is focused on official, institutionally attested achievement reports rather than informal or full lifelong records.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: SIS vendors, higher education registrars, credential exchange platforms, credential evaluators, national qualification authorities and integrators who need to exchange or aggregate official learner achievement data.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: The document was published in 2019 (Edition 1.0). Users should check ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 36 review records or the ISO catalogue for any amendments or a newer edition if up‑to‑date status is required for compliance or procurement decisions.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: It is part of the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 36 family of standards addressing information technology for learning, education and training; practitioners commonly use it together with other SC36 standards (metadata, competency models, e‑portfolio specifications) when implementing learning data exchange solutions.
