IRRODL: XI: International E-learning Specifications

http://www.irrodl.org/content/v3.2/tech11.html

A decent annotated list of resources and definitions for elearning standards from Norm Friesen and Rory Mcgreal in the latest International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning.  I’m having a hard time comprehending, though, how one would consider JA-SIG or EML as “Learning Object Repositories.” EML is certainly relevant as an emerging specification or technology, and maybe just mis-filed. JA-SIG, well I guess in that it is being developed within higher ed it might, just might, fall in here someplace, but I’m not sure the extent to which it is a ‘specification’ or specifically related to e-learning. In any case, a decent starting point to a huge field. – SWL
