The Gestation of Learning Objects

Abstract

Learning objects enter the development process depending upon the type of organization and specific need. Higher education has used the development process to help faculty members think deeply about course objectives and instructional design; whereas, the military, government, and corporate sectors implement the development process to create eLearning solutions. Identifying the most appropriate instructional model during the analysis and design phases is critical for the development of effective instruction since it ensures that learning outcomes are directly linked to the learning objectives. For example, let’s say that a teacher develops training on how hurricanes form.
