2. Page 1 LEARNING OBJECT A Learning Object (LO) includes all entities, digital or non-digital, that may be used to learn, educate or train. In this context we can just say it is a digital content. LOs important features: - self-consistent (can independently work) - interoperable (can work on differents platforms) - reusable (can be modified and reused by other authors and/or in other contexts) RESINT - Project General Meeting Bologna/Forlì 20th-21st May 2015 Silvio Olivastri

3. Page 2 TOOL Creating a LO can be a not so easy operation, specially if the author has got a basic knowledge of specific Web based programming languages and technologies (e.g. HTML, CSS, JavaScript). Hence, we have chosen a Web platform that lets to create LOs in an easy, quick and independent way: BEAT (Bologna E-learning Authoring Tool). We have adapted this platform to make it usable and suitable for the RESINT project. We have also added a personalized theme and new structures.
