Why use an LOR?
Interconnected Goals
TELL/SHOW: To provide theoretical content on a specific topic typically by reading text, watching an animation, or listening to narration. May also include references to examples.
PRACTICE: To provide an opportunity for students to apply the theoretical content. Learners do something with what they are learning—practice a procedure, play a game, answer questions.
EVALUATE: To provide an opportunity to reinforce and/or assess learning.

How does an LOR work?
So – there is a haystack and there is a needle.
Before putting the needle into the haystack, where it will be lost forever, we need to add TAGS (or KEYWORDS) – in this case, ‘needle’, ‘pointy’ and ‘sharp’.
Learning Object:
• Document (Word etc.) • Image
• Audio
• Video • NOW learning room
