The concept of learning objects involves the creation of discrete items that are described by metadata (an image of a fire engine would include the metadata: creation date, author's name, keywords, curriculum areas that this might be associated with, possible learning objectives of the learning object . . .There is obviously quite a range of descriptors that can be applied to each learning object, and so several standards have been developed and the one most institutions seem to be using is referred to as "Dublin Core" http://www.dublincore.org/ This project and many more like it around the world are setting standards that will be used in assisting the creation of huge repositories of web based learning objects that will be made available to teachers to create extensible learning opportunities.
But what is the point of all this?
