Learning Objects (LO) refer to a large collection of various kinds of programming objects available online. These objects are designed by Instructional Designers ,Graphic designers, SME’s and others. Each learning object deals with a single concept. It generally has three components, learning objectives, a unit of instruction, teaching those objectives (as you have written learning objectives earlier), and the unit of assessment that measures the learning objective. Some of the LO repositories are found freely available online for use, reuse and reference.

We came across such a learning objects repository, called Wisconsin Online Resource Center. The repository provides multiple facilities such as viewing the objects, sharing link of each learning objects for free. Any user may create a Wisc-Online hosted web page at no cost. The repository allows the faculty to convert their learning content into learning objects with the help of the tools and processes; which is frequently updated.

To access this repository the visitor is expected to sign up. All the facilities are available free of cost unless you want to purchase the learning objects.

Hope you will have a nice time exploring the repository.
