Stephen Downes - Learning Objects
http://www.downes.ca/files/book3.htm
This essay discusses the topic of learning objects in three parts. First, it identifies a need for learning
objects and describes their essential components based on this need. Second, drawing on concepts from recent
developments in computer science, it describes learning objects from a theoretical perspective. Finally, it
describes learning objects in practice, first as they are created or generated by content authors, and second,
as they are displayed or used by students and other client groups. This article is one of several articles Downes
has written, which he has included in his online book "The Learning Marketplace: Meaning, Metadata and Content
Syndication in the Learning Object Economy."
