Cognitive and Logical Rationales for e-Learning Objects
e-Learning artefacts are probably compared most appropriately with information artefacts as known by the cognitive dimensions framework (cf. Green, 1996; Green & Petre, 1996) which describes the “system under investigation†as “something that has been built for the processing, storage and communication of information. Every information artefact provides one or more notations in which the information being manipulated is encoded … The environment used to manipulate the notation is equally important†(Blackwell, 2001; also, cf. Green & Benyon, 1996). The user range interacting with e-Learning artefacts is large and multifaceted.
