NLII:

"Learning objects are an emerging NLII theme because their use has the potential 'to provide learning customized for each specific learner at a specific time, taking into account, their learning styles, experience, knowledge and learning goals' (Schatz, 2000). In addition, learning objects may 'offer great value in terms of saving time and money in course development, increasing the reusability of content, enhancing students' learning environment, sharing knowledge within and across disciplines, and engaging faculty in a dynamic community of practice' (Metros, 2001).
