Special Issue on Learning Objects
Just got a proof of an introduction I co-wrote for a special issue of “‘International Journal of Interactive Technology and Smart Education.” An excerpt is below; the whole piece is here.
In the fall of 2003, it was suggested that a conference or summit on learning objects would be a welcome addition to work occurring in the context of the eduSource project (www.edusource.ca). eduSource was a pan-Canadian initiative, in active development from 2003-2004, funded by the Canadian federal Government, and having as its goal the development of a network of learning object repositories that is international in its scope. The summit, held in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, attracted approximately 150 participants, attending both face-to-face and virtually. The summit was conceived as a forum for the open discussion of technologies and critical understandings related to learning objects, repositories, and their educational application.
This special issue is considered a capstone for the summit, and in some ways, it serves a similar purpose for the eduSource project as well. It brings together five of the many papers presented at the forum; and these five represent a diversity of perspectives and understandings of learning objects, and their technical, as well as social, economic and pedagogical ramifications.
