Abstract

This paper presents a distinction between content parts (information objects) and educational parts of learning objects. A plea is made for the separation of content and educational context references to maintain the content’s high potential for reusability. Since content alone does not constitute a didactical situation, however, after its separation content needs to be enriched with educational elements such as learning objectives and learning activities. This paper proposes ways of rejoining content with educational elements in a repository by means of an educational objectives taxonomy. The taxonomy could be further implemented to collect data on the different pedagogical purposes an information object was used for. Pedagogical repurposing, however, is not just understood as a reuse within different subject matter but also as a reuse for different pedagogical goals, such as the promotion of higher cognitive processes in learning.
