3. A Study of the Design and Evaluation of a Learning Object and Implications for Content Development Instruments Faculty were asked to assess the learning object in the following areas using a five point rating scale ranging from low to high and to provide a rationale for their score: 1- Content Quality: Veracity, accuracy, balanced presentation of ideas, and appropriate level of detail. 2- Presentation Design: Design of visual and auditory information for enhanced learning and efficient mental processing. 3- Reusability: Ability to port between different courses or learning contexts without modification.
