Abstract

Online learning resources are an advantageous option for supporting teaching and learning in the present environment. Different types of learning objects are available on different topics in many subject learning object repositories. This study evaluates and presents a comprehensive and evaluative mapping of the coverage analysis of learning objects (LO) in Library and Information Science (LIS) discipline available in the national learning object repository e-PG Pathshala (ePGp) with the latest syllabus of University Grants Commission (UGC)- National Eligibility Test (NET). This evaluation will provide the stakeholders using these learning object repositories with an overview of the subject coverage analysis to help in LIS teaching and learning. It also identifies gaps in the subject coverage of the learning objects which need to be addressed by content producers for future sustainability and relevance in LIS education.
