Another Learning Objects Paper

copy of 572 post

I read an interesting paper about Learning Objects today. The paper, Technology and Human Issues in Reusing Learning Objects, was written by two individuals at The University of Twente in The Netherlands. It discusses how learning objects are used in three different contexts: the university, the corporate world, and the military. It also presents what the authors refer to as the life cycle of learning objects. Sections 4.8, 5, and 6 in particular present many ongoing issues with learning objects; several of these have been mentioned by others on this blog site. Nevertheless, I found the article a worthwhile read and wanted to share it with those of you who are also interested in learning objects.
