LOCATION: 
Smith College

DESCRIPTION: 
Learning Objects represent the next wave in the on-going transformation of educational materials from primarily analog things (books, articles, paper maps) to primarily digital things (websites, animations, simulations, games) . 

This day-long meeting will provide participants with a solid understanding of:
*What is a learning object?
* What are some ways of going about making learning objects?
* How are learning objects shared?
* What are the technical standards and commercial developments in this world?
* How can you assess the educational impact of learning objects in a post-secondary educational context?
