Over the last years, many new learning technologies have been developed and incorporated into many teaching frameworks by lecturers and teachers. To benefit from these developments, an Israeli national learning objects database has been established, entitled MAOR: Meta-data and Object Repository. The database is accessible to all the institutions where teaching takes place, includes diverse and accessible learning objects, and provides tools for searching and locating objects to be used in learning frameworks. Content developers' and users' evaluations of the learning objects which can assist users to integrate the relevant objects into their study programs and lesson plans are also included in the database.
