Hi

The distinction between learning asset and learning object is just a matter
of conceptual understanding.

The way a teacher uses a resource (asset) may be quite different from how
another teacher may use the same resource - in different context, different
instructional design for different age group ....

The value of finding a learning object (as distinct from learning asset) is
the ability to see how some other poeple use the resource. This is done by
as suggested by IEEE LOM attaching metadata.

In a previous post, I referred to NEF resource. This is a term I coined
(more accurately co-coined with Mike Currie) to describe resources which
were not created for educational consumption in the first instance. The
examples given by Robert were good examples of NEF resources. Without
attaching educational metadata, these are just resources (albeit potentially
useful). I will welcome comment on a draft of a paper we are writing at the
moment on this:
