Pedagogical affordance is a useful concept. But there are pedagogical affordances of a) content, b) activities and c) tools and they are all very different (we may call all these "learning objects", like Harold did, but only when they are presented in the context of learning).

What people seems to forget is that affordance can be designed. This means that it is made such that one will perceive it.

Well exemplified, this is a very good way to explain the issue.

I just put up something related to pedagogical quality of digital learning resources, a continuation of the work of R. McCormick and J. Anderson within a quality framework in the UK.

They talk about pedagogical affordance of a LO that gives clues for users on how to use the LO for teaching and learning purposes. The less of it in a LO, the more liberty the users have to use the LO the way they want to. Reversly, it also add with more work for the users, as they have to come up with lesson plans, evaluation, etc.

It ain't art unless it's art. It isn't a learning object unless it's used for teaching and learning. End of story. Cuts through all of the theoretical and standards BS to get to the heart of the matter.</p> Great definition of learning objects. It ain't art unless it's art.
