I really like this definition. Comments welcome.

The objects should contribute to the
learning of the user. They are not meant to be assessment
experiences or revision experiences or drill and practice
experiences. They are meant to contribute to the understanding of
concepts and processes and the development of skills. This does not
mean that assessment, revision or drill and practice cannot be
exhibited through interaction with the learning objects but this is
not the primary focus. At the most granular level a learning object
must have content integrity and able to be used independently for
learning. They must also be developed with potential repurposing
and recontextualisation in mind, so that they may be combined into
learning sequences developed by a teacher within a specific
learning environment for specific learning needs.
