exploration of possibilities

I am exploring learning objects which may be applicable to my on-line course. Specifically, I am looking for an interactive activity which will help students understand the exchange rate and its affect on trade, currency rates, etc.

First I have to learn WHAT a learning object is. I've read a few articles and have discovered they are supplemental activities or readings which engage the learner in some way. MERLOT has many which can be searched by subject area. Specifically, there were 8 results when I used the terms "exchange rates" for a search. Of the 8, a few were not applicable or simple text driven. However, there was one which interested me. I need to play with it more to see what its possibilities are.
