Abstract

The vision of reusable learning resources or objects, made accessible through coordinated repository architectures and metadata structures, has gained considerable attention within education and training communities. A proliferation of standards, architectures, Web technologies, and functionality abound to help realize this promise. This chapter outlines the issues associated with designing solutions for small-scale users such as small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It describes the requirements and architecture for the development of an open-source small-scale learning object (LO) management system that supports the full management of learning objects, by bringing together the most promising advances in this field to attain a learning system for use by small-scale users to leverage the power of learning objects for improved training at an individual and organisational level.
