learning object

Incorporating web 2 into web based learning objects is extremely easy using a combination of embeding, iframing, linking or rssing (Yes, one knows that iframing is EVIL!@!!).

Peter Shanks' post about a course on ARED that he has built in Moodle reminds me that ARED can be used to create neat little learning objects that work very well in online learning environments (LMS, OLE, SMS...whatever).
