World Campus Learning Design
• Design, develop, and deliver World Campus online courses
• instructional designers; educational technologists; multimedia specialists
• Integrated with student support systems• Responsible for exploring, piloting, and
implementing Content Object Repository
![Page 8: Exploration of Reusable Learning Objects in Distance Education Course Design USDLA 2010 Andrea Gregg – Senior Instructional Designer Lynne Johnson – Senior](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5697c01e1a28abf838cd101f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why a Content Object Repository?
![Page 9: Exploration of Reusable Learning Objects in Distance Education Course Design USDLA 2010 Andrea Gregg – Senior Instructional Designer Lynne Johnson – Senior](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5697c01e1a28abf838cd101f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why a Content Object Repository?
1. Better resource utilization within Learning Design
2. Blended Learning Initiative
3. Flexible Design Initiative
![Page 10: Exploration of Reusable Learning Objects in Distance Education Course Design USDLA 2010 Andrea Gregg – Senior Instructional Designer Lynne Johnson – Senior](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5697c01e1a28abf838cd101f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Better Resource Utilization
• Current workflow often means “reinventing the wheel”
![Page 11: Exploration of Reusable Learning Objects in Distance Education Course Design USDLA 2010 Andrea Gregg – Senior Instructional Designer Lynne Johnson – Senior](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5697c01e1a28abf838cd101f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Flexible Design Initiative
1. Independent Learning Study Guides• Changes made with errata sheets
2. DreamWeaver pages and web server• Changes typically not made as course ran
3. Current Landscape• More requests for flexibility; more comfort
with web technologies; more browser-based editors
