    The K-12 voluntary standards were posted here as a link to
    the following article. They look useful.

    Voluntary Online-Teaching Standards Come Amid Concerns Over
    Quality
    By Andrew Trotter

    As learning over the Internet grows in both popularity and
    controversy, experts are hoping that a new set of national
    standards for online teaching may help bring clarity and
    credibility to an industry that some analysts say sorely
    needs both.

    The voluntary standards , released Feb. 21 by the North
    American Council for Online Learning, or NACOL, a trade
    association based in Vienna, Va., are designed to serve as a
    checklist for good online teaching.

    The new standards will “allow policymakers to have some sort
    of independent review of the online programs,” and give
    course providers a reference point for their own programs’
    quality, said John F. Watson, the founder of Evergreen
    Consulting Associates, an Evergreen, Colo.-based firm that
    publishes “Keeping Pace With K-12 Online Learning,” Requires
