January 30, 2016

2. Objectives By the end of this session, you will be able to:
Define Learning Objects
Demonstrate how Learning Objects are ‘glued together’ to make a course
Identify the templates used to achieve the desired learning outcome
Describe Learning Object cohesion levels and their usability

3. What is a Learning Object?
A learning object (LO) is any grouping of materials that is structured in a meaningful way and is tied to an educational objective. The ‘materials’ in a learning object can be documents, pictures, simulations, movies, sounds, and so on. Structuring these in a meaningful way implies that the materials are related and are arranged in a logical order. But without a clear and measurable educational objective, the collection remains just a collection.
