Summary of the second day if the International Open Forum on E-Learning and Standards, consisting of round-table discussions. Some great content here. In the first part of the summary there is an emphasis on getting return for public money spent on e-learning, and in particular "something that is durable and re-usable through time as part of our educational heritage." Discussion of the WSIS Declaration of Principles led to discussion of "converting existing learning objects and learning resources into 'learning assets' as part of a common heritage and collective asset from a global perspective." There is a need for better discussions, though not necessarily another organization. "All too often, we rush into standards development work without a clear understanding, let alone consensus, of what the user requirements are." Still, there appeared to be support for an "e-Learning Standards Advisory Council" to bring people together from different standards groups and other stakeholders in e-learning.
