3. What is a Learning Object?
One of the main advantages while delivering an E-Learning is the opportunity
to manage Learning Objects according to the actual training
purposes.
The same Learning Object can be adapted to different kind of
courses.
Definition: A Learning Object is a modular resource, usually digital
and web-based, that can be used and re-used to support learning
activities.

9. Content
While managing the content of a Learning Object, you have to take care
about the “logic” that is used to transmit the message.
This logic can be deductive or inductive.
What’s the difference?
Deductive method: it is used to transmit strong and clear concepts.
Usually includes also descriptive examples and practical cases.
Inductive method: starting from the description of different and
specific situations, it’s possible to go back to a specific concept.

It helps the students to verify their learning level.
A self test is not intended to give score, but feedback: by this way, the
students are able to learn from their mistakes.
It is also important share more information with the users, so they are
able to find additional contents before repeating the lesson.
