What's New


The 2009 Annual Report of the e-Learning Standards Advisory Council of Canada (eLSACC) has now been published. In his message, eLSACC’s President, Robert Thivierge underlines the fact that: “The year 2008-2009 has seen major developments in bringing International ISO Standards (in the field of information technologies for learning, education, and training) closer to publication and in harmonising the work of major players in the field of e-learning standards (e.g., Dublin Core Initiative, ADL-SCORM, IMS Global consortium, IEEE-LOM).

This is good news for eLSACC members and for all members of the education and training communities that have a stake in e-learning.” He also mentions that: “Looking ahead, eLSACC will soon reach a point where it will shift its focus from the development of international standards to promoting and supporting the implementation of these standards by establishing a pan-Canadian common standard framework (CSF) to support this effort.” That CSF will be the key component of the infrastructure needed to support the development of a shared educational heritage of digital learning resources.
