There’s No Such Thing as a Learning Object
Michael Feldstein, Assistant Director, SUNY Learning Network, says that there is no such thing as a learning object.
We learn by doing. We consider. We compare. We measure, discuss, debate, critique, test, and explore. We try, fail, and try again. Learning is an activity. It’s a process.
