I got this item in my email. From the email: "A set of learning objects has been created that are designed for some ofCRLFthe important styles of learning and teaching. They include; visualCRLFlearning, writing skills, critical thinking, time-revealed scenarios, caseCRLFstudies and empirical observation. The learning objects are designed andCRLFdescribed in terms that the average instructor can readily understand andCRLFredesign for their own courses. They are also designed in such a way thatCRLFthey can readily be reprogrammed for new applications in other courses andCRLFsubject areas, with little or no additional programming." I took a look at some of the objects (some others required plug-ins not supported by my browser) and they appear to be as advertised, though the site could provide more background and information. Still, if you need examples of learning objects, here's a few.
