Standards in e-learning
‘An excellent paper on standards…
for those who need to understand the nuts and bolts of e-learning.'

Raising standards
Standards are supposed to make life easier. Unfortunately, standards
in online learning are far from simple. A bewildering array of bodies,
acronyms and jargon has held back both understanding and implementation:
AICC, IMS, ADL, SCORM, IEEE...
Buyers are confused. They ask for conformance to ‘standards’
without understanding why they want them, or that what they are
referring to are ‘specifications’ rather than standards,
or that conformance to these so-called standards is open to interpretation.
Vendors are also exaggerating the benefits of standards, making
claims beyond reason and pushing people into asking for conformance,
when often it is unnecessary.
This thoughtful and detailed white paper by Andrew Hooley, Production
Director - Sales Solutions & Technology, Epic describes the
current state of play in the development of standards for e-learning,
profiles the important standards bodies and the standards they administer
- and gives specific, practical information for negotiating the
minefield that is e-learning standards.
