Learning+Objects

"Learning Objects are defined here as any entity, digital or non-digital, which can be used, re-used or referenced during technology supported learning. Examples of technology-supported learning include computer-based training systems, interactive learning environments, intelligent computer-aided instruction systems, distance learning systems, and collaborative learning environments. Examples of Learning Objects include multimedia content, instructional content, learning objectives, instructional software and software tools, and persons, organizations, or events referenced during technology supported learning" (LOM, 2000).

"learning object as **//any digital resource that can be reused to support learning//**.” ANGEL TCA College Board (?) Examples of smaller reusable digital resources include **digital images or photos, live data feeds** (like stock tickers), **live or prerecorded video or audio snippets**, small bits of text, animations, and smaller web-delivered applications, like a Java calculator. Examples of larger reusable digital resources include entire web pages that combine text, images and other media or applications to deliver complete experiences, such as a **complete instructional event.** Would this be a WebQuest?
 * Example:**

"create small pieces of instruction (LEGOs) that can be assembled (stacked together) into some larger instructional structure (castle) and reused in other instructional structures (e.g., a spaceship)."

"The purpose of the taxonomy is to differentiate possible types of learning objects available //for use in instructional design//. "
