What is a learning object?
"The Course" vs. "The Learning Object"◦"The course" --The unit of learning best
understood by traditional educators ◦Internet has emerged as a powerful change
agent for both business and education ◦Internet has encouraged educators and trainers
to reexamine ways in which they create and deliver educational materials
◦Outcome is a shift towards deconstructing the "course" into small pieces of instruction the "Learning Object"

Learning Object Model
7
Clearly defined, specific and measurable learning outcome (performance objective)
Learning content that prepare learners to master /gain competence of the learning objective stated.
Interactive exercise (s) that provide learnersa chance to practice the skill / knowledge learned.
Assessment or test item to evaluate if learning outcome is achieved.
8
What are learning objects?Smaller units of learning Typically from 2 and 15 minutes of learning
(7+ 2 RIO/ frames)
Self contained Can be used independently of other learning objects
Reusable Same learning object can be used in multiple contexts for multiple purposes
Can be aggregated LOs can be grouped into larger collections of content to create more substantial learning units (lesson, module, course)
Tagged with metadata All LOs are tagged with metadata that describes the LO and allows it to be easily retrieved in a search.

Process RIO Example - 2Facts – only list the facts that are needed to
explain the process. Example:
Those involved in QA
The QA process involves the following staff:• Development team member• QA Manager• QA Reviewer• Performance Solutions Group member

Pros & Cons of LOs
Pros Cons
Production costs
LOs can be maintained & updated separately
Retooling & retraining required
Flexibility More LOs – more flexible for designers
Restricts learner’s scope
Pedagogy Fits in with ISD theories. More discipline for IDs
Can restrict pedagogical approaches. Can’t apply to lengthy materials
End-user costs
Lower costs & increased choice
Significant conversion costs

Issues with Learning Objects
2 important issues in learning objects:◦Interoperability◦Reusability
Single most difficult characteristic is granularity – no accepted definition – best one is between 2 and 15 minutes for learning (topic level)
Single most important characteristic is the learning objective in the learning object itself
21
Anatomy of a Learning Object
Centred around a learning objective Content / information supports the
objective and promotes the achievement of the learning outcome
Practice / Feedback ensures mastery
