No, I don't agree that LA+metadata=LO.
I was trying to say that we need to make a distinction between "content" and
the notion of "Learning object".
I also noted that "content" is not necessarily "learning content" from the
view of creation. When used in a learning situation, all content IS
learning content. The issue is how to create "learning content" or use
content meaningfully in a learning context. I don't think we should avoid
"jumping the loop" by saying that once a content was used in a learning
context, the content becomes a learning object. I was trying to terse out
the "qualities" or necessary "sub-components" of any learning object.
The current list is "content, functionality, learning objectives and 'look
and feel' " Please add to this list and debate!
Metadata can potentially provide a mechanism of associating "learning
objectives" with "content" to make such content a step closer to becoming
LO. Although I quoted Frank Farance in making the distinction of LA and LO,
I can't agree on his view in this aspect.
