Whitepaper: Reusable Learning Objects

Global companies that support a multinational, multicultural and diverse work force are leveraging media assets on multiple platforms to provide more options for their employees. These companies face a challenge of: How to develop e-learning that is reusable, cost effective, transferable and light weight. The solution appears to be in two learning and training initiatives that have been around for a long time; modularity and reusable learning objects (RLO’s).  Brookwood’s Instructional Design experts offer insights into why and how companies are using learning objects to deliver instruction, performance support, and reference information to employees across languages, cultures, and continents.
