Abstract

This research is aimed to create the reusable learning objects (RLOs) and to evaluate the use of RLOs for designing the architecture of the obtained reusable learning objects under any Learning Management System (LMS) according to e-learning standard for measuring the reuse by e-Learning Maturity Model (eMM). The instruments employed are LMS in the type of Moodle v.1.3.1, ReLOAD Plug-in Program v.2.5.5, Protégé Program v.3.4.4 and spreadsheet of eMM v.2.3. The results obtained from the construction of RLO lessons revealed that it helps reducing time consumed for the lecturer in preparing teaching content. Finally, we obtain RLO tracking and eMM benchmark which means we can get RLO that can be tracked as well as a tool for evaluating the effectiveness of e-learning used in Thailand’s institutes.
