Another full newsletter today as developments fold into each other one after another during an incredibly busy week. Adding to that is a backlog of must-view material from the last few weeks, missed while I was travelling. This article is a case in point. Don't just dismiss it if you are not interested in online publishing: if you substitute the references to "digital assets" with "learning objects" you get the story of our industry in a nutshell. This really is an outstanding report; it doesn't look like much at first, but if you keep clicking the "Next" link at the bottom of the page it draws you in deeper and deeper. Everything about learning objects is here: the broken promises of ebooks, the weight of coding metadata, difficulties in accounting for use and ROI, standards conflicts, and more. What's interesting is that the article (a series of articles, really) concludes with a light shining at the end of the tunnel. Spend the time it takes to read this article; your perceptions will be shifted.
