e-learning standards

What has happened with e-learning standards and metadata in recent times, and where are we heading? This paper by HOEL and MASON 2011 [PDF 8pp] provides a very readable summary of the last two decades’ activity in metadata, especially in the learning, education and training area.

The role of standards bodies in metadata is mentioned, and please note that we now have a reconstituted Standards Australia Information Technology (IT-019) committee with wider representation which considers these and other standards issues.
