Abstract:
Learning objects are seen here a providing a dual framework. One is the flexibility needed to reuse learning material in
different environments. The other is a framework for reusable software agents that can support learners in these
environments. The combination of learning objects and software agents is particularly important for personalized life-long
learning to enable learners to easily set up their own learning environments. This paper proposes a way to combine learning
objects and software agents into an integrated support architecture and present it in a web supported learning space.
Software agents assist learners to create a learning environment for a specified need using reusable learning objects to
synthesize that environment.
