Abstract :
The Learning Object (OA) is any digital resource that can be reused to support learning with specific functions and objectives. The OA specifications are commonly offered in SCORM model without considering activities in groups. This deficiency was overcome through the solution presented in this paper. This work specified OA for e-learning activities in groups based on SCORM model. The solution allows the creation of the dynamic objects which include content and software resources for the collaborative learning processes. That results in a generalization of the OA definition, bringing a contribution to the e-learning specifications.
