Which would open up the festering and increasingly abstruse (at least to this techie) debate about what a learning object is. Amongst the repositories listed on the Texas Uni page is MERLOT (www.merlot.org), which itself indexes resources of various types (tutorials, animations, simulations) which you may, or may not, consider to be learning objects depending on which definition you favour...

Perhaps we should be thinking of what the *type* of the
repository is?

Subject: Learning object repository index
I was wondering about what learning object repositories currently
existed and thought I'd better do a quick Google search to try to answer
my own questions, and came across the wonderful Uni of Texas LO
Repositories list at
http://elearning.utsa.edu/guides/LO-repositories.htm which I thought was
worth sharing with you all, as not only does it list repositories
worldwide but also has useful metadata (or perhaps meta-metadata? ;-))
on them all. Apologies to those who already know about this. I'd be
interested to know if there are any other repository indexes (indices?)
that are as good, or is this the definitive 'repository of
repositories'?
Cheers
