Sharing Language Learning Objects

This analysis explores responses from a questionnaire designed to evaluate the effectiveness and accessibility of Learning Objects (LO) used in language education. The objectives include assessing the usefulness of resources, identifying potential users, and gathering feedback on interface improvements. With data from 50 higher education institutions, the findings indicate a majority clarity regarding information provided and a willingness among users to contribute materials. Key concerns include the need for clearer instructions and improved metadata for better resource accessibility.
