  6. Good standards are enablers • Make it possible to build better products • Provide a basis for new solutions • Good standards are about being good enough, not being perfect!

  7. Standards do not cure all ills • Applying standards requires communication, agreements and understanding • Technical standards do not solve non-technical problems “First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak.” - Epictetus (55 - 135) “The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said.” - Peter Drucker (1909 - 2005)

  8. Observation on Standardization Nothing is a standard until it is acknowledged and adopted by the community it serves

  9. INNOVATION Why Bother With Standards? • Standards define and catalyze new technology • Standards enable new solutions • Standards solve existing problems

  10. Why Bother With Standards? HELP THE CONSUMER • Standards prevent lock-in • Standards acceleratecommoditization • Standards increase reliability • Standards enable competition

  11. Why Bother With Standards? BUILD MARKETS • Standards can lower design, development and production costs • Standards help modularize supply chains • Standards buildconsumerconfidence • Standardization distributes effort

  12. Who participates INNOVATION HELP THE CONSUMER • BUILD MARKETS • Researchers • Academics • Corporate strategists

  13. Who participates INNOVATION HELP THE CONSUMER • BUILD MARKETS • Government Agencies • Consumer Groups • Companies looking for specific competitive advantages

  14. Who participates INOVATION HELP THE CONSUMER BUILD MARKETS • Commercial enterprises • Industry groups

  16. GOAL: Standardize all of learning technology Characterized by Many activities Little implementation Proliferation of organizations GOAL: Learning content interoperability Characterized by Government involvement Focus on “learning management systems” Adoption & Implementation Consumer Driven 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Goals and drivers evolved Research Driven

  17. Raising NEW ISSUES and requiring DIFFERENT STANDARDS ENABLERS Business Environment: In the 1980’s, applications of computers to learning was a research area.

  18. Raising NEW ISSUES and requiring DIFFERENT STANDARDS ENABLERS Business Environment: In the 1990’s, research projects and startup companies were spawned by new opportunities presented by the Internet

  19. Raising NEW ISSUES and requiring DIFFERENT STANDARDS ENABLERS Business Environment: Between 2000 and 2005, learning technology became commoditized. Consumers looked to standards to reduce costs and risk.

  20. Raising NEW ISSUES and requiring DIFFERENT STANDARDS ENABLERS Business Environment: It appears that learning technology will continue to mature as an industry, expand to include even more interactive environments and become more deeply integrated into enterprise technology
