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."

The Wisconsin On-Line Resource Center is a collaborative virtual center of web-based teaching and learning
resource options, technical and peer support. The 16 two-year colleges of the Wisconsin Technical College System
and the State Board Office have partnered to develop high-quality, interactive on-line learning resources to
support the statewide development of core General Education course offerings on the Internet. As a national model,
the project goal is to accelerate the development of quality on-line offerings while minimiing the cost of development
and the time for faculty training and course implementation while preserving faculty control of the course design.
