How do I create a learning object? Where can I use it?

Great question. Well, it depends on the object, of course.

A video can be created the traditional way: writing a script (or not), recording and editing. A presentation can be created with PowerPoint, Google Drive or Canva. An audio file can even be recorded on any phone. And so on. Interactive elements adapted for digital, however, require specific tools, especially when the focus is education. For that we have authoring tools. These are software products built to create education and training resources, like the ones you've seen in this course so far. Some learning platforms (LMS) already include a few simple tools for creating learning objects. So it's always important to check: what creation features are available on the platform I chose? Most LMSs allow resources such as text, video, images and downloadable files (like PDFs). Few offer interactive resources like the ones we'll present here, or even exercises beyond multiple choice. Pay attention to that.
