Combining reusable learning resources and services to pedagogical purposeful units of learning

Abstract

In this chapter I will explore some current underlying issues in the reuse of learning resources and will present these within the context of a teacher and an instructional designer who wish to reuse resources within their own practice. This analysis will unearth specific problems with reusing resources. Next, I will present a framework which integrates these underlying issues. I will discuss the implications of this framework on the future direction of work in the learning technology field. Firstly, I will define some of the concepts more precisely.
