This study explored a learning‐based approach for evaluating learning objects using a large, diverse, sample of secondary school students. The soundness of this approach was supported by estimates of reliability and validity, using formal statistics where applicable, incorporating both formative and summative evaluations, examining specific learning objects features based on instructional design research, and testing of a range of learning objects. The learning‐based evaluation t...
