US & Metric Units in eLearning
May 02, 2011

Are there any 'standards' for including US & Metric units in an eLearning lesson?
Many engineering lessons don't lend themselves well to straignt conversions.
Telling a mechanic to use a 7/8" wrench. There is no "straight" conversion to a metric wrench.
7/8" = 22.23 mm - the closest metric wrench would be 22mm
- write a separate lesson for each unit of measure?
- write in US and add Metric conversions in text only ?
- write in US and add Metric conversions in text and graphics?
