Abstract: This paper illustrates how to apply the reusable learning objects approach, together with ontologies and the intelligent agents technology, in the context of a project-based pedagogy to provide the learners of a design course with design cases that are shared across different design communities through a distributed content management system.

Keywords: learning objects; ontologies; intelligent agents; project-based pedagogy; design memory; information systems design; distributed content management; learning object reuse; e-learning; online learning.
