Reusable Learning Objects: Designing for Reusability
In Turkish: Tekrar Kullanılabilir Öğrenme Nesneleri This is short version of Lisa Amitai’s March 2005 SC Convention presentation
2
Outline What is a learning object? Why use them?
Using learning objects Creating learning objects

Like a LEGO Block Every LEGO piece, no matter what shape, color, or size, can always be snapped together with any other piece… Wayne Hodgins What is a LO? Why use them? How do I use them? Designing a LO
4
OOPS! Object Oriented Programming What is a LO? Why use them?
How do I use them? Designing a LO
6
What is a Learning Object?
Media Pages Lessons Courses Curricula Image from Horton What is a LO? Why use them? How do I use them? Designing a LO
8
Definitions Any entity, digital or non-digital, that may be used for learning, education or training (IEEE’s Learning Technology Standards Committee) What is a LO? Why use them? How do I use them? Designing a LO

Working Definition Relatively small instructional component
Can be reused in different contexts Digital entity Can be accessed by multiple users Can be accessed in multiple ways: over the Internet packaged on CD-ROM company database What is a LO? Why use them? How do I use them? Designing a LO Interoperability Distributing LOs Problems

RLO in CEIT317 A Learning Object is a brief exposure to a small chunk of content that is structured such that it could be used in teaching. It is assumed that an LO would ultimately be part of a larger instructional unit Create your concept teaching project in a modular manner What is a LO? Why use them? How do I use them? Designing a LO
