Abstract: Reusability of Learning Resources has been a research issue for many years. There are several theoretical solutions for enabling efficient reuse of Learning Resources. In practice though, reuse is still far behind its potential. One key requirement for reusability is to have small, modularized Learning Resources available. These small Learning Resources can then be aggregated to new Learning Resources. But repositories contain mainly whole courses, which are unlikely to be reused as such. Learning Object Repositories could be much more successful, if they contained more fine-grained Learning Resources which are better suited for reuse. As an intermediate solution, we propose the use of a modularization tool for decomposition of existing monolithic learning resources. This paper presents a concept for an interactive modularization tool for SCORM-based Learning Resources and an actual implementation of that concept.
