•fundamental idea behind LO
flexibility:
lexibility material designed to be used in multiple
contexts can be reused much more easily. It is much
easier to contextualize as part of design and
development than to uncouple an object from the
context of its parent course and then re-contextualize;
ease of Updates, Searches and Content Management:
Management
Metadata tags facilitate rapid updating, searching and
management of content by filtering and selecting only
the relevant content for a given purpose.
customization:
ustomization when customization is required, the RLO
approach facilitates a just in time approach to
customization. Modular LOs maximize the potential of
software that personalizes content by permitting the 13/38
The object approach – benefits (2)
interoperability:
nteroperability the object approach allows organisations
to set specifications regarding the design, development
and presentation of RLOs based on organisational needs,
while retaining interoperability with other Learning
Systems and contexts;
facilitation of Competency Based Learning:
Learning competency
based approaches to learning focus on the intersection
of skills, knowledge, and attitudes within the rubric of
core competency models rather than the course model.
While this approach has gained a great deal of interest
among employers and educators, the challenge in
implementing competency based learning is the lack of
appropriate content that is sufficiently modular to be
truly adaptive. The tagging of granular RLOs allows for
an adaptive competency based approach by matching
object metadata with individual competency gaps; 14/38
