Abstract

Learning objects, digital units for instruction, are the 'hot' topic in the worlds of educational uses of technology. Based on this simple definition of learning objects, this paper provides a case study of one university educator's attempt to access a variety of learning object repositories in the expectation of being able to find, evaluate and use components that would fit into an existing course on computer networks. The paper includes examples of the learning objects and concludes that the current scope and quality of the repositories makes using the Internet search the practical option.
