Abstract
Learning objects are building blocks of e-learning . They are found embedded in various
types of environments viz. institutional repositories, VLEs/MLEs, online learning repositories
and personal repositories. In the distributed environments it is difficult to locate a desirable
LO to match with a given set of learning objectives, hence various standards pertaining to
interoperability of the repositories and to facilitate cross-searching, accessibility, reusability,
aggregation of LOs have been developed. But there is no agreement on the use of
instructional design and verification of the content of a LO. The present study outlines
quality control measures currently practiced by the managing organizations of selected
representative learning repositories, with respect to these two criteria only.
