•
1 like•328 views
The document discusses digital learning resources, noting that there is no agreed upon definition for terms like learning objects. It outlines the typical steps for creating digital content, including breaking content into smaller pieces, adding metadata, and packaging for learning management systems. Quality criteria for digital learning resources are proposed, including constructs pedagogy, interactivity, addressing 21st century skills, and avoiding low quality examples like relying solely on animations or trial and error problem solving.
