Creating learning objects is a time-consuming process. Most learning objects have content that could be used across different courses and departments. However, many learning objects, such as videos, tutorials, instructional documentation, and online courses are created with identifying details that make them difficult to repurpose or share with other members of the organization.
In this session, you will learn guidelines for creating effective learning objects that are shareable, transferable, and easily updateable. You will learn to create a diverse learning object repository that can be utilized for many different needs.
