Good post on a Yahoo Group list (you will have to register and sign into elearningleaders (something I think the list owner really should change)) on why the author thinks that the IMS and SCORM standards are bound to fail. In a nutshell, the IMS and SCORM standards violate some fundamental principles of useful standards, specifically:
- CRLF
- Standards must be completely platform neutral.CRLF
- Standards must be international in scope.CRLF
- Standards are all about consensus - not cool ideas.CRLF
- Standards require the active participation of people from all vertical markets and all related professions.CRLF
- Standards must be durable.CRLF
- Standards must accommodate people with special needs.CRLF
- Standards must remain pedagogy neutral.CRLF
- Standards must harmonize with existing standards.CRLF
- Standards must be embraced by a wide range providers.CRLF
- Standards efforts must be governed in a neutral manner.CRLF
