Learning Objects

---

Learning objects are self-contained educational resources that are properly tagged with keywords, or other metadata, and often stored in an XML file format.

Creating a course requires putting together a sequence of learning objects. There are proprietary, open, non-commercial and commercial, peer-reviewed repositories of learning objects such as the Merlot repository.

The two main K-12 Learning Object Repositories in B.C. are: Open School BC’s Teacher Resource Centre and the Virtual School Society’s Learning Resource Repository.
