Objet D' Learning

I must say learning about learning objects was not easy for me this week!   I could blame it on my busy schedule and I could blame it on the virus that attacked my computer and all the countless other things that vied for my attention this week, but the truth is the articles we read this week often seemed like they may have been written in another language.

So it was hard for me to learn about learning objects.  But, I did manage to get a concept of learning objects in my brain.  They can be:
 flexible
 dynamic
 highly engaging
 devices
 persons
 places
 symbols
 a single entity or a part of a library
 reusable or not!
 interactive
 tagged and catalogued
 based on learning objectives, job function or business unit
 decontextualized
 granular
 created by module designers or their users
 viewed, adapted or manipulated
 
Depending on who you're talking to any of those qualities can be challenged or judged as desirable or not desirable.  It would depend on the goal of the object and it's creator.

I think I liked the definition offered by Koppi (et al) the best - "Learning objects were defined as discrete chunks of reusable learning materials or activities that can communicate with other learning objects to build a learning environment.."  That being the case, I might be able to create one or two!
