Abstract

This paper will discuss the role of e-learning standards for implementing e-learning applications. We briefly define and describe the issues related to e-learning standards to improve performance and availability of e-learning content. We also describe the characteristics of standards important for maintaining high quality e-learning contents. The various standards are analyzed and the degree of synergy between different standards organizations is identified. We discuss the life cycle for e-learning standards, and the main types of standards to enable the interchange of components in a learning system. The Malaysian experience is presented as a case study.
