| Summary: | This paper compares learning objects with Manovich's new media objects. It shows that learning objects are culturally translated from programming objects through the use of new media in education. Some characteristics of programming objects simply do not apply to learning objects. On this basis, it argues that the grandest promises for learning objects reuse fails both in programming objects and in learning objects. Then it discusses some common issues that faced by new media producers and learning object producers. It separates out the issues that belong to the medium from those belonging to management and education, and points to a team-based approach to learning object production with experts in the medium, management and education.
