Secret Standards Business?
نویسنده
چکیده
Engagement by the higher education sector in standardisation of the technology that supports e-learning is hardly a mainstream activity. For many stakeholders, processes associated with standardisation are both perceived as opaque and tedious. Reasons for a lack of engagement are canvassed; among them, the perception that ‘secret standards business’ is conducted only by those individuals and communities with certain kind of technical understanding or calling. However, it is argued that standardisation of information technologies relevant to learning, education, and training would both be better served and better informed from wider stakeholder buy-in. Why standards are important and how they are being developed is discussed. It is further argued that standardisation of technical components enabling e-learning is no different to standardisation of technical components that make aircraft fly. Key standardisation groups relevant to higher education are profiled as is the standards lifecycle and a number of models associated with it.
