Convened a workshop in January 2013 with stakeholders.
Drafted standards covering key aspects of e-learning program design and delivery.

Main Results:

Draft standards were developed encompassing: designer/provider qualifications, learning goals, objectives, content, methods, participant assessment, and course assessment.
The drafted standards provide a basis for program evaluation.

Conclusions:

The drafted standards require stakeholder review and comment.
The ultimate goal is the endorsement of a final version of these standards by all relevant parties.
