We have implemented the British Institute of Learning and Development's (BILD) Quality Mark, and are one of few organisations to have achieved Gold status (see www.thebild.org/qualitymark for more details).
Web standards is a general term for the formal standards and other technical specifications and best practices that define and describe aspects of the World Wide Web. Considerations include the interoperability, accessibility and usability of web pages and web sites. The recommendations published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) are generally considered the international web standards (www.w3.org).
Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web. Web accessibility encompasses all disabilities that affect access to the Web, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities. More specifically, Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web, and that they can contribute to the Web.
It is essential that the Web be accessible in order to provide equal access and equal opportunity to people with disabilities. An accessible Web can also help people with disabilities more actively participate in society.
The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) develops guidelines and techniques that describe accessibility solutions for Web software and Web developers. These WAI guidelines are considered the international standard for Web accessibility (www.w3.org/WAI).
DeltaNet have a thorough understanding of web accessibility and use our knowledge of this area to inform clients strategies when developing interactive e-learning.
All DeltaNet course content is SCORM 1.2 compliant.
The Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) integrates a set of related technical standards, specifications, and guidelines designed to meet SCORM’s high-level requirements—accessible, interoperable, durable, and reusable content and systems. Web-based e-learning SCORM content can be delivered to your learners via any SCORM-compliant Learning Management System (LMS) using the same version of SCORM.
- Accessibility
The ability to locate and access instructional components from one remote location and deliver them to many other locations
- Interoperability
The ability to take instructional components developed in one location with one set of tools or platforms and use them in another location with a different set of tools or platforms
- Durability
The ability to withstand technology evolution and changes without costly redesign, reconfiguration or recoding
- Reusability
The ability to incorporate instructional components in multiple applications and contexts
Content providers, instructional designers, and project managers are most interested in how SCORM will help them meet their project requirements. Content providers will quickly see how SCORM helps implement reusable learning objects. Instructional designers will identify reusable content and content sequencing strategies that can be successfully implemented with SCORM. Project Managers will realise development, time, and cost savings when a strategic plan for implementing reusable content is identified and carried out. |
