Abstract

This paper describes a model to address the development of learning objects based on Cognitive Flexibility Theory and on research related to this theory. We called this model Multiple-Perspectives Learning Objects (MPLO). The model integrates three components: a case and its background context, a brief description of the perspectives used to analyze the case, and the deconstruction process that promotes deep understanding of the content analyzed. Some models for structuring learning objects are reviewed but none of them is based on a learning theory.
