Canned Content

This interesting article gets at the heart of what is becoming a tangled and convoluted mess - sharing learning content. The article asks, can ASTD certification ensure the quality of off-the-shelf courseware? Well, something would help, as the market today is fragmented and frantic. And there are those who believe cetification will help. The courses will be reviewed by staff at LGuide based on standards which are, in ASTD's words, a "work in progress." But it's expensive, and it's not clear that all the publishers will play ball. Why would they, if they are selling now? And it's not clear that expensive standards are the way to go - whatever happened to that old standby, the peer review process? Or how about five star rating in E-Learning magazines? At any rate, this article taps into a major problem in the industry. By By Michael Rosenberg, E-Learning Mag, July, 2001.
