Making Sense of Learning Specifications & Standards:
A Decision Maker's Guide to their Adoption

Free Report at: http://www.masie.com/standards/

The phrase "learning standards" is one of the most powerful and most
misunderstood aspects of the e-Learning revolution. As organizations make
significant investments in digital learning content, there is a strong
desire to have greater assurances portability and reusability. As
organizations focus on providing learners with the "just right" content
and activities, there is a strong desire to have the ability to more
easily store, search, index, deploy, assemble and revise content. All of
these hopes are part of the story of "learning standards".

To lower industry confusion about learning standards and to accelerate
their adoption, The MASIE Center's e-Learning Consortium organized and
facilitated a group of learning professionals who worked together for
several months to generate a collection of information and job aids.
