Abstract

This is the second part of the article under the same name published in the previous issue of RED. It was then that we stated a vision of the selection and sequencing of learning objects in the context of curricular planning, from the constructivist perspective. In the field of web-based training, we pointed out the importance of having tools and autonomous criteria that guide this process on our own and external basis, above the prescriptions of technological tools, and from the need of having standardized formats to exchange data. The above mentioned becomes more relevant in the field of e-learning for general purposes, in the areas of academic formation, corporate and general training. It covers the area of formal, non-formal and informal education as well. We have also mentioned the needs the e-learning industry has to fulfill at present in relation to instructional design of learning objects. These needs are both a priority and a challenge. In the first part of this article we developed the constructivist perspective and the concept of technological tools as educational resources, as well as a revision of concepts that are related to e-learning, learning objects, reusable learning objects (RLO) and reusability. In this part, we’ll deal with the basis for the theories that rule the procedures for selecting contents, the basic presupposition and the description of the sequencing techniques. In particular, we’ll focus on three of them: Content Analysis Technique, Task Analysis Technique, and Elaboration Theory. In our third and last part, we’ll undertake several issues – not trying to solve them but just in their proposal as enunciation: Is the concept of reusable learning object compatible with the requirements of interdependence of the learning contents? If this is so, what are the requirements for those learning contents?
