Abstract

Toolbox learning objects are a class of pedagogically rich, sophisticated e-learning objects created for the Australian vocational education and training system (VET). Their richness makes them very attractive to teachers and trainers working across a range of learning contexts but at the same time makes them difficult to reuse. While these e-learning objects have been designed to be customised and are often repurposed for use within one vocational context, an approach is emerging that sees them increasingly customised for reuse across a range of intervocational or interprofessional contexts. This chapter describes this approach, focusing on the tools and techniques of customisation, and presents a model of reuse that can be implemented elsewhere with any pedagogically rich web based e-learning object in intervocational and interprofessional settings. Toolbox learning objects are freely available to anyone with internet access from the Toolbox Learning Object Repository website. The Repository is fully searchable and objects can be previewed from the Repository website and downloaded without charge for educational use. This chapter will be of value to teachers, trainers and academics who are exploring the reuse of pedagogically rich web based e-learning resources for interprofessional or intervocational education.
