Work is based on results from German Lighthouse Project L3 – LifeLong Learning conducted by SAP and 20 partners from academia and industry.
Background:
Transformation from industrial to an information society is characterized by dramatic technological developments.
Increasing need for continuing education.
Classical résumé – school – apprenticeship/ university – job – retirement is incrementally challenged phases on the job take turns with phases of continuing education.
Still many barriers: expensive, time consuming, bound to time and place, not individualized, ...

e-Learning over the Internet offers ideal conditions to overcome these barriers: Globally available 24/7. Multi-/ Hypermedia. Potentially accessible to everyone. Offers new opportunities for communication and collaboration.
In this sense Internet is becoming the basis of knowledge globalization, a universal library accessible worldwide for continuing education.
Problems: Consistency of courses already in existence. Retrieval of relevant and significant information regarding the thematic and
didactic context. Also not individualized. Usage rights. Payment issues. …
Solution: Standardization and Metadata.

From im-c, 2001
Focus on technical issues and financial opportunities. Wiley 2002: Surprisingly scarely a discussion about didactical or instructional design implications of learning
objects. Exceptions: IMS Learning Design, Educational Modeling Language (EML).
Description of learning processes or pedagogies on an abstract level. Objective here:
Description of learning processes on a concrete, granular level based on a specific metadata set. Usage for more individualized contents and adaptive navigation through the material.

Realized Strategies
Macro-Strategies: From the whole to the details: Follows the deductive didactical approach From details to the whole: Follows the inductive didactical approach Table of contents: Lists all available objects and ignores the relations between objects
Micro-Strategies: Orientation only: Shows only knowledge-objects indicated as orientation-knowledge.
Strategy results in an overview course. Orientation first: Objects classified as orientation knowledge will be presented first. Action-oriented: Objects classified as action knowledge will be presented first. Explanation-oriented: Objects classified as explanations will be presented first. Example-oriented: Objects classified as examples will be presented first. Table of contents: Lists all available objects and ignores the relations between objects
