Nowadays there are a large amount of virtual libraries and repositories of resources, where people can access and great variety of information in multiple fields of knowledge. One of these types of data is Learning Objects (LOs), which contain metadata to locate and recover them, according to the specific educational needs of users. Educational objectives are clearly oriented to skills development. Therefore, it is important to consider educational materials that promote their use. Due to the LOs characteristics as independent units that can be reused, we propose a guide to LOs design with the aim of developing these resources according to levels of knowledge required for competency development. In order to promote the learning objects management based on skill levels, we suggest that their metadata be cataloged by level of knowledge and competencies classification.
