This is an invitation to researchers, faculty and educational managers to participate in the First Latin American Conference of Learning Objects. This conference is an opportunity for regional users, managers and researchers to share information, tools and experience in the development and use of learning object technologies.

A concrete result expected from the conference will be to reach an initial agreement to create a consortium to interconnect the diverse learning object collections in the region and create a federated network of Latin-American repositories.  The federation will increase the usefulness of this kind of repositories in our institutions.
