What is a Learning Object?
One of the main advantages while delivering an E-Learning is the opportunity to manage Learning Objects according to the actual training
purposes.
The same Learning Object can be adapted to different kind of courses.
Definition: A Learning Object is a modular resource, usually digital and web-based, that can be used and re-used to support learning
activities.
Let’s see how is composed a typical Learning Object

Training Purpose
It is important to communicate the training purpose of each lesson in a clear way.
Remember: each Learning Object has to be focused on a single, specific training purpose.

Learning Object Index

Logical Map
This map shows a visual version of the previous index.
By this way, students are able to understand the logical map of the whole learning process, as well as the logical connections among the
Learning Object contents.

ContentWhile managing the content of a Learning Object, you have to take care
about the “logic” that is used to transmit the message.
This logic can be deductive or inductive.
What’s the difference?
Deductive method: it is used to transmit strong and clear concepts. Usually includes also descriptive examples and practical cases.
Inductive method: starting from the description of different and specific situations, it’s possible to go back to a specific concept.

Self Test
It helps the students to verify their learning level.
A self test is not intended to give score, but feedback: by this way, the students are able to learn from their mistakes.
It is also important share more information with the users, so they are able to find additional contents before repeating the lesson.

Final Test
It’s important to define goals, questions typology – true/false, multiple choice, etc. – and how the score is assigned.
