Learning Object Repositories

Learning object repositories are collections of instructional materials usually created by educators. Materials are uploaded by their creator to be used by other educators and can include any topic and teaching level. Here is an introduction to learning object repositories.

Sample Learning Objects:
Faculty Resource: Learning Object about Learning Objects (flash)
Science: Classification of Joints - Multimedia Animation and Tutorial
Health Studies: Inside Cancer - Multimedia Module
History, Literature: The Martha Ballard Case Study: A Midwife's Tale
Philosophy: Argumentation and Critical Thinking

Many repositories include a mechanism for peer review of all submitted content. Usage is often free of copyright regulations, any restrictions that apply are usually stated on the content site. It is worth searching such repositories for existing material relevant to your teaching before starting a time consuming endeavor to create your own. It takes time and patience to find material pertaining to your instruction, however, you may be able to avoid re-inventing the wheel. Please contact the FCPE if you would like us to assist in your search.
