8. What is a learning object ? Digital content. ‘Chunks’ of learning. Include interaction or activities. Express a definable concept. Achieve a learning objective / outcome. Suitable for re-use. Xerte creates learning objects.

9. Effective learning objects A clear purpose or need. Set learning objectives. Aligned to learning outcomes. Clear instructions. Relevant and appropriate materials. Well structured or defined sequence. High level of interactivity. Makes use of external resources. Short in length and self-contained.

14. What is learning design ? “Learning design is the practice of planning, sequencing and managing learning activities, usually using ICT-based tools, to support both design and delivery.” Helen Beetham (2011).
