The Value of Standards
Standards make learning technology:– Durable, Portable, and Scalable
Not locked in to single source solution Not built on special tricks Systems interoperate in a networked world
– Affordable and Maintainable Larger market justifies producer investment Stable industry justifies consumer investment Modularized for maintenance

The Value of Standards
Standards help the learner too!– Raise content quality
Replace time on infrastructure by time on content Define best practices and platform for innovation Support industry-wide content repositories
– Make Learning Valuable Help target competencies and certification Make learning more relevant to work context Make results more portable

Testing and Certification
AICC has certification program in place IMS is setting up an extensive program:
– Planning phase taking place now– Will create “consortium of consortia”– Win-win financial model
ADL has developed test suites An important IEEE role is to work with
certification and testing labs
