Abstract

This chapter explores interoperability in E-learning, particularly the characteristics which might enable Learning Objects to be effectively shared and reused in a Learning Object economy. The technologies underlying learning objects, and associated standards and specification are initially reviewed before discussion turns to the nature of learning objects as used in this chapter.
