Technical document that provides requirements, specifications, guidelines or characteristics to ensure that materials, products, processes and services are suitable and uniform for their purpose.

Something considered by an authority or by general consent as a basis of comparison; an approved model.

A level of quality or attainment used as a model by which to measure acceptable or desirable behavior or product.

Standard in this context is the degree of excellence required for a particular purpose; it is an accepted or approved example against which phenomenon are judged or measured.

“a document, established by consensus, that provides, for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of order in a given context” (ISO/IEC, 1996, p8). Standards in the strictest sense can only be created by specific organizations such as the International Standards Organization. In reality and common usage a standard can be an official document, but it also could be a de facto creation of a professional body or vendor, a specification, a reference model or framework, or a collection of guidelines. Guidelines or heuristics generated by expert practitioners and possessing strong face validity rather than empirical support constitute the predominant guides to good practice within e-learning evident in the literature..
