Psychological Principles for Reusable Learning Object-Based Learning System Design

Abstract

The creation of a reusable learning object that is effective from instructional and system perspectives must be guided by a framework that is founded on theory and research. A combination of frameworks, the Cisco model and the grounded instructional systems design have been integrated to develop a set of templates that can be used to help developers efficiently create RLOs and the reusable information objects that comprise them. The integration of psychology foundation into learning object creation is critical to a successful implementation of RLO architecture.
