All,
I believe the photograph shows an example of the species
'doctrina timor' where what we really want is 'doctrina quidam'
(according to the IEEE LOM definition).
Apologies to any Latin speakers out there I know it is not
correct. If there are experts out there may be they would like to
contribute :)
Regards,
Ben

Subject: Re: what is a learning object
I have been following this one with amusement.
Might natural language be metadata for physical reality (i.e. it's all
metadata and everything is a learning object). The implications that
might flow from that assertion, while not practical given today's
technology, might be entertaining.
