Standards becoming standard

Wayne Hodgins writes,

One of the "what's going on in eLearning" bits could be "it's getting real" and to wit that as of today we have our first accredited standard for eLearning, with the approval today of the Learning Object Metadata standard at IEEE. Believe I sent you the notification earlier today and I see this as a significant milestone for our industry in that it is now "getting real". With the completion of this first accredited standard we have now run the full model through once, so we have delivered on that promise, proven that the system works, that it can be done, etc. I think this will be significant in the minds of the decision and policy makers as well as the eLearning community in general and that we will see even more of a complete transition into implementation mode. This s MUCH needed so that we both get on with it and start the real work and learning process.
