Therefore, it is important to consider educational materials that promote their use. Due to the LOs characteristics as independent units that can be reused, we propose a guide to LOs design with the aim of developing these resources according to levels of knowledge required for competency development.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #ffffff;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">In order to promote the learning objects management based on skill levels, we suggest that their metadata be cataloged by level of knowledge and competencies classification.</span></span></span></span></p>
