Abstract

Ohio State's director of Technology Enhanced Learning and assistant director of the Libraries team-taught a graduate course on building learning objects and integrating them and library resources into next-generation course management systems (CMSs) from Blackboard (6.0), CyberLearning Labs (Angel 5.5), and WebCT (Vista 1.0). We present cost-benefit arguments for integrating the library as a large learning object repository with CMSs and content development practices.
