Designing Instruction with Learning Objects - Cheryl J. Hamel and David Ryan-Jones
Abstract: The growth of online learning is enlarging the market for instructional content that can be bought and sold or shared over the Internet. To promote global commerce, industry groups are developing standards for web- and computer-based courseware architecture and packaging. An important underlying instructional design concept in the e-learning economy is the idea of learning objects. A learning object, narrowly defined, refers to a small, stand-alone unit of instruction that can be tagged with descriptors and stored in repositories for reuse in various instructional contexts. Principles of learning object design are presented and accompanied by guidelines for assuring that instructional content is designed and tagged for modularity and reuse.
