In the course of getting up to speed on the technologies and application on instructional sciences to online development and delivery, I've attended conferences, read books and journal articles, and compiled many lessons learned on my own and with other practitioners.</p><p>As a result, I've built a collection of resources and methods upon which I rely, basing the work and solutions I create on best practices published by organizations, vendors, researchers, and experts in the field. I spoke earlier this year to a local ASTD group about how to get ready for and evaluate your e-Learning approaches. I presented research and practices that come from a range of sources, including Marc Rosenberg, Michael Allen, and others. I'd like to share those resources with you. I've cited the original sources so you can check their websites or purchase their books.</p> standards Sat, 19 Nov 2005 07:12:44 -0700 http://www.learncentrix.com/scorm-overview <p>This page has an introduction to SCORM that might be a good place to start for someone that needs to build SCORM content. It is not a full explanation, but a decent coverage of the fundamentals. http://www.claroline.net/doc/en/index.php/How_do_I_create_SCORM_content%3F</p> standards Wed, 14 Sep 2005 07:53:10 -0600
