Sessums Wed, 31 Dec 1969 17:00:00 +0000 #comment-80896 I have sat with a few enlightened minds and tried to get my proverbial arms around the idea of RLOs. Having worked in academia for close to ten years, I have met very few teachers/professors willing to use other people's creations/artifacts. Here at my uni, we seem to operate under a "not invented here" motif, i.e., if it wasn't created by me, I'm not going to use it in my class. That said, there are a number of terrific resources floating around (not to include textbooks) that I have encorporated into my lessons. But, I agree, to try to codify RLOs is not worth anybody's time or effort. Now if blamb will stop relaxing and create some more movies for us....
