Michael Hanley on the Role of Standards in Learning

Filed Under Industry Experts 

Michael Hanley is an independent Learning and Development Consultant with a special focus in the field of eLearning. He is the author of the E-Learning Curve blog where he has dedicated a significant time to open-source and standards-based technologies. In this podcast, he discusses the role of standards in learning.

According to Michael Hanley, it is unrealistic to expect that at this point innovation waves or “disruptive technologies” will interoperate with content management and delivery platforms organizations currently use. Digging into standards, Michael explains the importance of understanding the distinction between de facto and accredited standards and talks about his belief that conforming to ISO certifications reflects the professionalism of learning companies. Finally, in order to surpass the disconnect between learning professionals and vendors when it comes to learning standards requirements, Michael gives out his own set of advice on what questions purchasers need to prepare and ask to their vendors.

    Hey, I know I can download this and put it into my iTunes manually, but I wonder if it’s set up as a podcast that I can just subscribe to in iTunes? Tried searching for xyleme in iTunes, but it didn’t come up. Are you able to put a link on your site if you’ve got it set up?

    Thanks. :-)

    Hi Talia,

    Thank you for your note. We have submitted Xyleme Voices to iTunes and we are waiting for confirmation when our podcasts will be available publicly. As soon as we have this info, we will post it on the Xyleme Voices site and on the Xyleme Voices Facebook group.
