+== Learning Objects  Notebooks
 
+A LO Notebook *is a reusable web-based interactive chunks of e-learning* designed to explain a stand-alone learning objective, which can be used, reused or referenced during technology supported learning.
 
 
+*Swarmlab.io Notebooks includes the following key characteristics*:
 
+- *Learning objects are a new way of thinking about learning content*. Traditionally, content comes in a several hour chunk. Learning objects are much smaller units of learning, typically ranging *from 2 minutes to 15 minutes.*
+- Are *self-contained* – each learning object can be taken independently
+- Are *reusable* – a single learning object may be used in multiple contexts for multiple purposes
+- Can *be aggregated* – learning objects can be grouped into larger collections of content, including traditional course structures
+- Are *tagged with metadata* – every learning object has descriptive information allowing it to be easily found by a search
