For some, standards may have fallen off the e-learning radar screen. But in reality, standards are and continue to be a part of all aspects of learning. To learn how—and whether—organizations are using e-learning standards, Learning Circuits, in conjunction with E-Learning Network News, ran a short survey in July 2005. Here’s what respondents had to say. (Results are based 248 responses).

6. How do you decide which standards to follow?

7. Are you getting value out of following standards?
