Abstract

In this paper, an implementation model is presented for creating a learning objects repository to support introductory computing courses. The primary implementation goals are: that a user be able to search the repository and retrieve collections of learning objects that address specific learning outcome requirements; that the objects have a granularity allowing flexibility in their packaging for various purposes; that the interface for the repository should enable users to enhance the existing material or to contribute new material. A framework, related to the Cisco reusable learning object model, is presented for a typical learning object, and methods are presented for management of the repository of objects. Once fully implemented, the repository will allow instructors to develop materials supporting a variety of introductory computing courses by browsing existing learning objects, modifying existing objects, contributing their own learning objects and components of objects, and constructing customized modules of objects.
