  2. RLO’s, Reusable Learning Objects Adapted from the Wisconsin Online Resource Center:   Learning objects are a new way of thinking about learning content. Traditionally, content comes in a several hour chunk.  Learning objects are much smaller units of learning, typically ranging from 2 minutes to 15 minutes.  • Are self-contained – can be used separately, • Are reusable –may be used in multiple contexts for multiple purposes. oCan be aggregated –can be grouped into larger collections of content, including traditional course structures.

  3. The Instructional Use of Learning Objects An online resource, free to copy and redistribute in any electronic or non-commercial print form, http://www.reusability.org/read/ • The book is divided into five major sections. • Learning objects explained • Learning objects and constructivist thought • Learning objects and people • Learning objects implementation war stories • Learning objects and the future
