The theoretical result of sharing learning objects leads to a much lower cost per educational institution. Learning objects are based on the generative and constructive learning theories that assert that learning is an active process of constructingrather than acquiring knowledge; instruction is a process of supporting that construction rather than communicating knowledge. Learning objects are also based on sound design principles of the object-oriented paradigm in computer science. These combined theories provide a framework for learning objects as: accessible, reusable, interoperable, adaptable, granular, versionable, cohesive, and loosely coupled. The purpose of this literature-based research is to explain the theory of learning objects and their benefits to organizations. This paper explains how learning objects can improve the delivery of quality education.
