Theory & Practice: A Methodology for Creating Knowledge Objects
Quote: "For instructional designers who currently build hour or day-long courses, the idea of creating content in small, independent, reusable 2-3 minute chunks can seem daunting. Well-written, instructionally sound materials often rely on an instructor-led sequence (whether online or in the classroom) and build upon experiences throughout the program. When creating reusable objects, the designer cannot assume they are in control of the learning sequence. In addition, the job of converting a mass of current materials while developing new content to meet current business objectives seems impossible without adding additional resources. Fortunately, Knowledge System Design (KSD) provides an easy methodology to create Knowledge Objects to ease the transition to new design and knowledge management efforts."
Comment: Knowledge objects are basically learning objects...this article is a basic overview of what is required in KO development.
