Abstract

Learning objects are touted as reusable. But what exactly do we mean by 'learning object' and by 'use' or 'reuse'? In this paper I compare and contrast the genesis, use, reuse and transformation of two mathematics learning objects. In describing and analyzing the evolving personal relationship between the objects and their developer and user, I suggest that the essence of a learning object is the pedagogical model of which it is an instance. And, potentially, the use and reuse of a learning object may transcend the boundaries of its pixels. That is, the pedagogical model of a learning object may come to 'inhabit' its user and manifest itself in situations where its digital form is not present.
