Summary/Abstract: There is a set of e-learning standards varying on the level of complexity, detail of description and means for technical implementations. These standards open up new levels of content description, data presentation as well as have impact on reuse and interoperability of e-learning content. E-learning standards such as IMS, SCORM, IEEE LTSC METADATA, DUBLIN CORE and others have settled down in recent years. E-learning platforms started complying to the standards especially to the most comprehensive ones such as IMS and SCORM. Here comes the issue of migrating old content into standardized learning objects (as defined in SCORM standard) along with the development of easy-to-use learning objects repositories. In this paper firstly an overview of standards is given with respect to the reshaping of content to meet standards, then a practical conversion issues are examined and discussed.
