This document discusses reusability and reusable design of resources. It defines reusability as the ability to use a resource multiple times in different ways and contexts. For a resource to be reusable, it must meet three requirements: (1) it must be identifiable through metadata, (2) users must be able to use it through appropriate permissions, and (3) it must work across different platforms and contexts. The document provides guidelines for making resources more reusable, such as adding thorough metadata, using open licenses, following standards, and designing content that can stand alone and be adapted in different contexts and presentations. The goal is to maximize reuse of resources to save time and money.
