Buttressed front and back with objects that explain the contextual
meaning of the particular object. Otherwise, I don't see how the
instructional role is fulfilled.

Again, what does NEF mean/stand for? Not Educationally Formed?
Besides, I just think of those as knowledge objects.

Again, I can't see a system capable of stringing together knowledge
objects, tagged or not, into a learning experience. Yet. I still
believe that there have to be objects created with the educational
purposing to make it happen.
