Oppikäsite

Oppikäsite is a Finnish term that translates to "learning object" or "educational object" in English. It refers to a discrete, self-contained unit of learning material that can be used and reused in various educational contexts. These objects are typically designed to achieve specific learning outcomes and can be combined with other oppikäsite to form larger courses or learning modules.

The concept of oppikäsite is closely related to the principles of instructional design and the development of reusable learning content. Oppikäsite can take many forms, including text documents, images, videos, audio recordings, simulations, quizzes, and interactive exercises. The key characteristic is their modularity and ability to be independently accessed and utilized.

The development of oppikäsite often involves adhering to certain standards, such as metadata descriptions, to facilitate their discovery, retrieval, and integration into different learning management systems or digital learning environments. This interoperability allows educators to create customized learning experiences by assembling appropriate oppikäsite for their students' needs. The goal is to promote efficiency in content creation and to provide flexible learning pathways.
