Why use Learning Objects? Because learning objects:

• Give your students something to see, something to hear, as well as read.
• Can demonstrate procedures for psychomotor learning.
• Incorporate multimedia and interactivity, which studies have shown provides an enriching, engaging learning experience for the student.
