Qualitative analysis of texts was made from 1992 to early 2014 in order to identify meanings associated with reusability and its evolution over time. Results show that reusability is not a univocal concept and its meaning has evolved from its early years, especially focusing over the last decade on adaptation processes.

A more profound understanding of such ideas is critical to face institutional approaches to create and reuse open educational resources as well as the design and implementation of open educational practices.Andres ChiappeVivian AriasAthabasca University PressarticleReusabilityopen educational resourceslearning objectsinformation and communication technologycontent analysiseducational technologySpecial aspects of educationLC8-6691ENInternational Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, Vol 16, Iss 1 (2015)
