Common Industrial Standards and Compliance Solutions for eLearning

HALIGHT eLearning is built on solid instructional and visual design, rigorous quality procedures, the industry accepted standards and compliance solution recommendations for eLearning.

Our commitment to these standards and compliance issues translate into increased courseware content interoperability, advanced meta-data tagging and tracking of all relevant information associated with the eLearning modules we produce.

Industry Accepted Standards for eLearning

Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL)—Putting current and emerging technologies to use in the learning sphere is the goal of the ADL. Jointly sponsored by the government, academic interests and industry, ADL represents a powerful collaboration between the public and private sectors having real and measurable benefits in the development of eLearning and information technologies. ADL's Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) research has expanded the reach and horizons of course structure and open architecture for online learning. To learn more about ADL, visit them online.
- All HALIGHT eLearning is SCORM 1.2 compliant. Click to learn more about this eLearning standard and its importance to your critical knowledge base.
Aviation Industry Computer-Based Training Committee (AICC)—The AICC is an international association of technology-based training professionals developing guidelines for the development, delivery and deployment of aviation industry Computer-Based Training (CBT) and related learning methods. The AICC pioneered what is now the most widely accepted interoperability standard for CBT and Web-Based Training (WBT)—their work in the aviation industry, educating pilots and acting on the valuable feedback they receive have made AICC the benchmark by which all eLearning is measured.

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers / Learning Technology Standards Committee (IEEE/LTSC)—The LTSC is chartered by the IEEE to develop accredited technical standards, recommended practices and guides for learning technology. Design methodology, technology implementation, software, tools, deployment, interoperation and maintenance of learning technology are the primary focus of the IEEE/LTSC. For more information on IEEE/LTSC, visit them online.
IMS Global Learning Consortium, Inc. (IMS)—A nonprofit corporation, IMS develops, adopts and promotes technical specifications for interoperable learning technology. IMS member corporations represent a wide cross section of eLearning industry players: software and hardware vendors, institutions of higher learning, government agencies, multimedia content providers, and systems integrators. IMS specifications are made available to the public at no charge. For more information on IMS and their specifications for eLearning, please visit their Web site.

Compliance Standards for eLearning

Section 508—A United States government initiative, Section 508 requires the Federal agencies' electronic and information technology is accessible to people with disabilities. The task of educating federal employees and creating the necessary infrastructure to support Section 508 implementation has been given to the Center for Information Technology Accommodation (CITA). Section 508's Web site allows Federal employees and the general public to access resources and information for understanding and implementing disability awareness and accessibility requirements.
