Abstract

The use of Web-based technologies in teaching and learning process, has obtained excellent results, the Internet being the platform for communication and interaction between students and teachers. There is also a constant use of educational content /Learning Objects (Los) in different formats and different types of platforms, enhanced by Web 2.0. This paper presents a study about the development, availability and use of Learning Objects in Higher Education Institutions. We conclude that Higher Education Institutions surveyed do not develop and do not reuse LOs, which use SCORM and IMS standards. Finally, it also presents advantages and disadvantages of the educational use of LOS.
