Even if you find the conclusion unsatisfying (as I did) you will agree, I'm sure, that there's some really good reading before we get to the end of this paper. Taking on the much discussed question of the definition of a learning object, the author looks at the numerous approaches to education that could use such resources and observes that the term "'learning object' makes no sense to the educationCRLFcommunity." So, "Instead of trying to create a framework to enable interoperability and reuse of learning objects across different pedagogical paradigms, we focus on creating a supporting technical infrastructure to enable interoperability and reuse of resources within specific pedagogical paradigms." Right. Don't try to build the pedagogy into the objects themselves. Build the pedagogy into the systems that use the objects.
