Reeves pedagogical evaluation
(Reeves, 1997) |
Consists of 14 pedagogical dimensions based on learning concepts and theories, i.e.: epistemology, pedagogical philosophy, psychological support, objective orientation, experimental validity, instructor’s role, programme flexibility, adaptation to individual differences, learning control, user activities, cooperative learning and cultural sensitivity.

LORI (Learning Object Review Instrument)
(Nesbit et al., 2003) |
Furnishes an evaluation framework for LO based on the analysis of nine items, scored on a five-tier scale. The nine dimensions evaluated are: content quality, learning goal alignment, feedback and adaptation, motivation, presentation design, interaction usability, accessibility, reusability, standards compliance.

MERLOT
(Vargo, 2003) |
Constitutes a learning object repository (LOR) that evaluates the quality of the learning objects stored and ranks the objects evaluated on the grounds of three criteria: content quality, potential effectiveness and convenience of use. |
Learning Objects evaluation criteria
(Morales, 2008) |
These criteria are grouped under four headings: psychopedagogical, didactic-curricular, technical-aesthetic and functional. The authors propose a framework for the comprehensive evaluation of LO on the grounds of these criteria. |
Quality criteria
(Paulsson, 2006) |
Reviews the LO available in repositories, focusing on four properties: architecture, pedagogical contextualisation, use of standards and extent to which they are decomposable or composable. The study concludes with a proposal for six areas of action that could help establish quality criteria: narrower definition of LO, mapping taxonomy, more extensive standards, best practice in use of existing standards, architectural models, separation of pedagogy from the supporting technology.

Elements determining quality
(Velázquez, 2007) |
The elements that determine LO quality are: technological, pedagogical, content and aesthetic, and ergonomic. The authors propose tools for measuring LO quality in terms of the above dimensions. |
