Creating a Learning Object Design Model

To deliver the focused and current training that rapidly changing business environments require some organizations are implementing a reusable learningobject approach to instructional design. As well as using this approach to create new learning products organizations are also redesigning existing learningproducts into learning objects, in order to standardize those learning products and to create a large enough database of learning objects to enable reuse.Since existing instructional design (ID) models may not always meet the needs oflearning object design projects this book describes a study that was undertaken to develop developed a model that learning designers can use to redesign existing content into objects. Intended for use by learning managers, designers, and developers, this model maintains the rigor provided by traditional instructional design models while ensuring that the focus remains on the learning design rather than the delivery technology. By ensuring that instructional design is the cornerstone of learning object development consistency can be created and maintained between assets and objects and in the structuring and presentation of content.
