On Addressing Design Issues That Hinder Reusability of Learning Objects in Instruction Design
Joab E. Agaba and Jude T. Lubega
Abstract—A good number of repositories equipped with
millions of standard-based learning objects exist and this
presents a great boost in instruction design based on learning
objects. However, instructional designers face a number of
challenges in reusing these learning objects. This paper presents
the design issues that hinder reusability of learning objects and
proposes the approaches that can be used to address them.
Index Terms—Instruction design, learning objects, reusability, learning object transparency.
