Blog #2: Learning Objects

Author: Kelly Stack from UC Santa Cruz.

Topic: I'm interested in looking at reasons why learning objects tend to not be re-used in higher education instruction, particularly at research univesities. What are the cultural, technical, psychological, and temporal barriers to use of learning objects by faculty at colleges and universities?

In the corporate environment, information developers are expected to share content and reuse objects where they can. Content management systems (such as SumTotal) have been developed with the expressed purpose of managing reusable learning objects so it is surprising to me as well that they are not used significantly in an academic environment.

I to believe that as faculty begin to develop online content, then the idea of sharing modules will begin to take off.
