According to Dirr, establishing standard policies is an issue that is still very much in the evolution stage, although much has been accomplished in this respect. In this regard, Dirr notes that the Council of Regional Accreditation has developed new guidelines for distance education. These are by no means either established or fully accepted into the policies of all tertiary institutions. Indeed, they are still very much in the research

Berger's "Sacred Canopy," and Freud's "The Future of an illusion" are both secular theories of religion. Berger's theory is based on a sociological understanding of human nature, while Freud's analysis is based largely upon his psychoanalytical theories.
