I am surprised how often academic colleagues argue that there are no quality standards for e-learning. Well, hello, I’m sorry, but there are and some of them are damned good. However, I was surprised to find while doing some research for a client that there is no single source where one can go to compare different quality standards for e-learning. So I’m starting a list here, and would appreciate it if readers could direct me to ones that I may have missed.
E-learning quality assurance standards, organizations and research
To wrap up 2011 and tee things up for 2012, I reached out to a number of colleagues at associations, learning technology firms, and other consulting firms across the sector to get their predictions (things they think will happen) and wishes (things they think ought to happen) in association education in 2012. In the first part of what follows, I have tried to weave all of the input into a cohesive narrative that spans five major themes: Following this narrative, I provide the full input from each person who participated. There is a great deal of good insight here – all of which merits careful consideration if not action.
Continuing Education - Lifelong Learning Market Predictions for 2012
I am presenting workshops on Experiential Mobile Learning Activities at the Digital Media Literacy Conference 2012 and the Mobile Learning Experience 2012. What follows is the slide deck from and a description of my presentation. This interactive, experiential BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) workshop has its foundation in two guiding principles: (1) Building a sense of community in the classroom helps address the whole learner including achievement and academic success, and (2) Mobile devices are extensions of young people. As such, they should be leveraged in the classroom. Young people are connecting with one another through technology in unprecedented ways. Computers, wi-fi networks, and smart phones allow young people 24/7 access to technology and to one another.

Mobile and Embedded Delivery
Now it's easier than ever to deliver assessments to multiple different types of devices (including smart phones and internet-connected handhelds such as the Apple iPad, iPhone and iPod touch ), or to create learning and assessment mash-ups by embedding quizzes or surveys within wikis, blogs and web pages. Questionmark's auto-sensing, auto-sizing delivery features take the guesswork out of blended delivery, enabling you to author an assessment once , schedule it once and then deliver it in as many different ways as they like. When delivering an assessment, Perception v5 auto-senses the participant’s device and browser, then delivers the assessment formatted appropriately for the device/browser’s requirements.What is Mobile Learning? Take a look around and chances are you’ll see a mobile device. Phones, iPods, tablets, laptops, netbooks, iPads, and USB drives seem to be everywhere. Combine these ever-present gadgets with educational and productivity uses and you’ve got mobile learning . Mobile learning can happen anywhere: in a classroom, at the dining room table, on a bus, in front of a science exhibit, at the zoo…anywhere! Portability is not as important as the ability of the learner to connect, communicate, collaborate, and create using tools that are readily at hand.
