* Are you working on your own or collaborating with other people?

* If you're collaborating with other people are you doing that face-to-face or online?

* Do you want all your learning objects to have the same overall structure (this can help your planning and also help learners know what to expect)

* Or will different learning objects be very different in style according to the nature of the content or the purpose of the learning?

* Is your learning object designed to be used by learners working online?

* Or is it designed to be used in the classroom with an interactive whiteboard or wireless mouse, getting groups of learners to interact together?

* Are you using Xerte toolkits to present information? Or to test understanding? Or both?

* Have you looked at what other people are doing with their learning objects? Why don't you explore the Showcase section of this website?

* Do you want to use existing "recipes" to help you put together pages into sensible bundles?

* Do you want your learning resources to work on mobile devices as well as desktops?

* Do you want your learning object to allow learners to collaborate in real time?

* Do you want your learning objects to be set up with RSS feeds so your learners can subscribe to your channel and get new content instantly?
