Reusable Learning Objects:Designing for Reusability
This is short version of Lisa Amitai’s March 2005 SC Convention presentation
In Turkish: Tekrar Kullanılabilir Öğrenme Nesneleri
Outline What is a learning object? Why use them? Using learning objects Creating learning objects
Every LEGO piece, no matter what shape, color, or size, can always be snapped together with any other piece…

Definitions
Any entity, digital or non-digital, that may be used for learning, education or training
(IEEE’s Learning Technology Standards Committee)

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

Advantages
Courses can use components from a wide range of sources
Easy updating, searching, and content management
Increased value of content: learning object economy

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
