yes I admit it: five or six years ago the paradigm of learning objects had me somewhat intrigued. But quickly I realized that the charm consisted mainly in a rapid and convenient shortcut technology, made on which standard SCORM and abbreviations and metadata to be completed thoroughly, while the contents were still being designed, built and enjoyed the old, reassuring manner. ... All gone now, all gone, "... like tears in rain."
But is that really so? There are still a Learning Object? O have been transformed, evolved, have changed in some way? It 'clear that the crisis of the Learning Management System has also swept with it the LO. But we can think of LO without the LMS?
The answer seems obvious: of course yes. But this means that I must be able to define the attributes that will allow me to characterize a LO and distinguish it from other "material" that is not. LO has a very specific educational purpose, it has structured content for a well-defined target ... Obviously there are few resources on the Web meet all these requirements. These certainly not, but if we change our paradigm on the process of teaching / learning and liberation from the constraints of traditional courses, "instruction" is perhaps something. Especially if we think in terms of process, interaction and contact with real experiences and contexts.
So that LOs are no longer just a reading, but to become a conversation.
