ABSTRACT

Roll over Napster and make way for Learnster. With the emergence of new internationally recognized metadata specifications, the peer-to-peer exchange of lessons and courses by learners, instructors and course developers is becoming possible. Imagine having seamless access to a vast store of learning resources such as animations, videos, simulations, educational games, and multimedia texts in the same way that Napster users have access to music files. Learning objects (LOs) are what make this happen.
