Albert Ip yesterday on elearningleaders writes, with respect to learning objects, "As I continue to work with the learning technologist hat on, I am gettingCRLFmore and more ... (I am lost in word, English is not my first language!)." From reading the three papers on this website, I suspect the word Ip is searching for is "frustrated" (or perhaps "confused"). Ip, who specializes in role-playing simulations, finds very little that is reusable in learning objects, and in one paper suggests that the term "learning objects" should even be used at all. I am sympathetic, but I think what we have here is a case of using new technology do do old things. Are learning objects per se useful in role-playing simulations? Maybe not.
