Abstract :
We discuss reusability aspects of interactive multimedia content in Web based learning systems. In contrast to existing approaches, we extend a component based architecture to build interactive multimedia visualizations by using metadata for reusability issues. The experiment we conducted shows how to reuse the same visualization in different learning contexts
