Structure • Definition of Learning Objects • Examples • Granularity of Los • Reusable LOs • Online Sources
Learning Object • “Educational resources that can be employed in technologysupportedlearning”1 • “Any entity, digital or non-digital, which can be used, re-used and referenced during technology-supported learning”2 1 Learning Objects: A Practical Definition, Rory McGreal 2 http://ltsc.ieee.org/wg12/s_p.html
Learning Object • With appropriate metadata descriptions, they can be modular units that can beassembled together to form lessons and courses Lesson that is compiled from audio, video, text, images, etc Learning Objects: A Practical Definition, Rory McGreal
Learning Object • A LO can be based on: • Electronic text, • Web site, • Image, • Movie, • Java applets Learning Objects: A Practical Definition, Rory McGreal

LO Reuse • Open Archives Initiative Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE) defines standards for the description and exchange of aggregations of Web resources • In this way, the reuse of LOs is facilitated
LO Reuse • Learning objects, may combine resources with media types such as text, images and video • OAI-ORE standards expose these combinations to applications that support authoring, deposit, exchange, visualization,reuse, and preservation of learning objects
