The project chronicles a case study of building reusable learning objects, the practices for creating, indexing, retrieving, and using rich media across disciplines. Original and secondary materials focused on The History of Natural Selection was digitized for re-usability, universal access, portability, and scalability –issues common to all endeavors focused on building sharable content.
