ASPECT Awards: Awarding Learning Technology Standards Adoption

NOTE: The ASPECT Award was originally intended to be part of the eLearning Awards organised by European Schoolnet in November 2010. However, the project consortium has decided to allow schools more time in order to enter for the ASPECT Award. For further details see below.

Publishers, Individual authors and schools creating digital learning resources are increasingly aware that Learning Technology Standards can assist them in making their content more visible, and easily accessible.

In order to celebrate the achievements of all those who have already adopted Learning Technology Standards, and encourage further adoption, individuals and organisations will have the opportunity to apply for the ASPECT Award. The award criteria take into account Licensing, Metadata and Delivery.

To apply for the ASPECT Award, you need to submit one (or more) learning resource(s) to the eLearning Awards and provide the documentation demonstrating that it meets all the criteria for successful implementation of elementary learning technology standards.

Further details on how you can apply will be provided in October 2010. The ASPECT Award ceremony will be organised as part of a major event on educational publishing and content development organised by European Schoolnet in February 2011.

If you wish us to send you information about the ASPECT Awards when the submission is open, please submit your contact information here.
