While the idea of reusing objects in digital learning environments is not new, continual strides are being made toward improving the prospects of reusability. A major trend in company training settings is to think of reusability in terms of a LMS (learning management system), but instructor use and pedagogies are little considered. This paper describes an approach to re-use learning objects based on a pedagogical model that puts learner interaction and contribution in the driving role and which sees LMSs and LCMSs (learning content management systems) as tools for the instructor or learner.
