Abstract
In the recent days, content designers and developers of electronic learning are being introduced new technology dependent approaches for content generation. Most of the electronic learning content always developed for a specific purpose based on a specific technology, which is highly expensive and time consuming process.

In this paper the authors present a new paradigm for content generation and localization based on an instructional technology called “Reusable Learning Objects”, which follow the features of reusability, interoperability, durability and accessibility. This technology would bring a major change in designing and development of cost effective educational material for mass agricultural education and extension in an open distance mode.
