摘要:This paper describes a project, which began two years ago at London Metropolitan University (LondonMet), the project was then extended to include Bolton Institute of Higher Education when one of the team took up a new post. Our work began with an urgent need to improve student success rates on introductory computer programming modules. Students needed to have a sound pedagogic resource to which they could return that would enable them to understand the different facets of the Java programming language. The most appropriate format for this resource was a set of Learning Objects (LOs) deployed on the web. During two years, this set of LOs has been used by over 1000 students at the two lead institutions and more recently by students from the University of Ulster; and they have been the subject of presentations at national and international conferences. Additionally, a link now exists with an international project with similar interests, Codewitz, to begin sharing objects. The expertise gained from designing these LOs has now been employed at LondonMet in Business and Polymers
