00:00:57 - Hello, Gaby and Eileen, and of course, well, a learning object according to Willi 2000 is a digital resource that can be reused to support learning, which is a definition that has been changed over the years. And additionally, learning objects have become so important since it helps us to improve the quality of education by implementing a whole learning object system where the idea is to support the educational needs from the different states.

00:01:33 - Wow I'm red that's amazing now we can see it's important since we are in the middle of the information age where we have more facilities to construct new knowledge

00:01:44 - But now I'm wondering, what about the impact, benefits and drawbacks?

00:01:52 - Well, that's a very interesting question, and taking into account this is a concept that is in continuous change. First, the main impact that is also related to the benefits is the fact of increased value of the content, the interoperability, the content customization, and searching and content management. Also, some of the drawbacks are the lack of clear information, intellectual property rights and language and geographical depth.

00:02:27 - Just to be sure that result in his article of 2010 is right, let's ask our students so tell us is this true?

00:02:38 - You're right, Andre. So what do you think, Vivienne Astrid?

00:02:49 - At university, whatever we have to look for new information, then learning objects we know to differentiate when content is available, and is up to date.

00:03:00 - Also, sometimes we can find that kind of information no matter the device as long as we have an internet connection.

00:03:07 - Additionally, we select only the information we need or that was required.

00:04:40 - Also, the general theory is based on the relationship made between the learning videos, experiences of knowledge and the new information percent. The individual has an active role in constructing our knowledge. Finally, they conclude our topic and to be sure how are learning of the world. There are the main features, fundamental, combined clouds, combined open generality presentation generality and institutional accessible was reusable in through interoperable adaptable versioning and granular perfect and thank all of you for your amazing comments about the topic
