A number of reusability metrics extracted from metadata records are defined and analyzed to provide an aggregate reusability evaluation for learning objects in a repository. The evaluation is validated and compared with an expert-based a posteriori evaluation method %K learning %K objects %K metadata %K reusability %U http://online-journals.org/i-jet/article/view/794
