External Learning Objects (ELOs)

An external learning object (ELO) is a reference to a learning activity or resource such as:

• A membership in a professional association
• A subscription to, or an article in, a journal or magazine
• An on-the-job or off-the-job experience
• A web site (for example, http://www.mywebsite.com/usefulinfo.html)
• An Internet newsgroup
• An in-house policy and procedure manual (for example, http://www.mywebsite.com/manuals/newemployeemanual.pdf)

External learning objects can be displayed, and searched for, in the Library. However, Skillport cannot track their completion by learners.
