On Reusible Learning Objects ...
The recent Techlearn 2003 conference, highlighted the major conundrum facing elearning. According to the elearning gurus, Content is king while Context is queen, and that you cannot facilitate real learning without Context. On the other hand "context and reusibility are mutually exclusive". A logical conclusion from these statements would be that reusible learning objects are not possible. Dave Jonassen voiced a similar opinion to me a couple of years ago. Dave is more interested in developing the strategic templates to instructional design for problem solving, than figuring out what the size and shape of a learning object should be. The search for RLO's has taken a lot of time and energy, which I believe could have been better spent on developing reusible strategies (or know-how).
