…the art of applying learning objects to learning situations and of assessing learning…

Literature relating the concerns and issues of pedagogy to electronically mediated learning is abundant. While most of the literature focuses on the larger topic of e-learning in general, there has been some attention paid in the literature to instructional design and learning theories relevant to learning objects and learning object repositories. However, as David Wiley has also noted, there appear to be few examples of solid educational research with a pure focus on the dynamics between learning and learning objects. Several themes are evident in the literature, including the importance of contextualization and reusability; androgogical versus pedagogical approaches to object design and delivery; and the need for content design to incorporate both learning theory and instructional design theory.
