available in December, 2003. 1. NLII Learning Objects Key Theme 2. NLII Learning Objects Workgroup. Lead investigator, Learning Experiences. 3 NLII Learning Objects Case Study and Method (see Letter of Solicitation). This study will involve 5 institutions of higher education that are developing and using learning objects. 4. Learning Objects Virtual Community of Practice (LOVCOP). Co-facilliator 5. NLII Learning Objects Survey (see Letter of Solicitation).This is a by-product of the LOVCOP. As of 4.16.03 the instrument is under review. Submitt comments to pmcgee@utsa.edu. 4. MERLOT paper. 5.

Vocabulary - Complete and make available online September 2003 Learning-Centered Principles - Learning-Centered Principles Observation Tool April 2003 Learning Objects - A Web site for practitioners that will ink to Controlled Vocabulary and Learner-Centered Principles and a visual organization that clearly supports (e.g., develop the “MERLOT/Learning Objects” link under “Technology Uses” so that it is at least as robust as the “Deeper Learning” link, and further, develop any relevant connections to Design Implications, Teaching Practices and Learning Activities). January 2004 - Observation Tool for learning objects. September 2003 - An NLII or EDUCAUSE Annual Meeting session on strategic issues related to learning object development.September 2003 - Article for EDUCAUSE Review with a strategic focus ,e.g., why learning objects are a strategic issue that campuses would or should be interested in. - Article that provides tactical and operational answers to questions, e.g. Why and how must pedagogical issues be considered throughout the learning object design process in order to best support a design that supports learning?
