Learning Objects Reusability and Their Adaptation for Blended Learning

The main scientific problems investigated in this article deal with reusability of learning objects (LOs) which is one of the main factors of their adaptation possibilities for blended learning. The aim of the article is to analyze popular existing LOs technical evaluation tools, and to formulate new more complex tool based on requirements for LOs reusability and adaptation for blended learning. The author has investigated that existing LOs technical evaluation tools have a number of limitations. Some of them do not examine different LO life cycle stages, and other insufficiently examine technical evaluation criteria before LO inclusion in the repository. All these tools insufficiently examine LOs reusability criteria. Therefore more complex LOs technical evaluation tool is needed. It should include LO technical evaluation criteria suitable for different LO life cycle stages, i.e., criteria before, during and after LO inclusion in the repository as well as LO reusability criteria.
