Abstract: Effective reuse of shared educational resources from learning object repositories depends on the ability of faculty to select relevant learning objects for inclusion in specific courses. There has been little investigation to date into faculty decision-making processes for learning object selection. This preliminary analysis explored the degree of consensus among faculty course developers as to which learning objects are relevant to a course. In three pairs of faculty course developers, each member of a pair independently judged the relevance of learning objects to a common course. Agreement between members was low for all three pairs (Cohen’s ? = 0.20, 0.39, and 0.09 respectively), suggesting that substantial differences may exist in how individual faculty members choose learning objects. A larger study using the same methodology is planned to more definitively address the question of faculty agreement on learning object selection.
