LEARNING OBJECT As learning objects we mean digital representations about real phenomenon and tools for constructing meaning about it. Representations refer directly or indirectly to existing objects and context where the objects is situated. Representations allow perceiving the object from different perspectives. Physical and cognitive tools enhance the negotiation of meaning about them.
