What is a RLO? • media assets (aka information objects) + activity + assessment + links (?) based on a single learning objective or goal
Some definitions • Definition #1 • “Any digital resource that can be reused to facilitate learning” • (Wiley, 2001) • Definition #2 • "A discrete reusable collection of content used to present and support a single learning objective." (Jacobsen, 2002) • Definition #3 • ”An aggregation of digital assets that represents an educationally meaningful stand-alone unit” (Dalziel, 2003)
Features of reusability • What features make RLOs reusable? • What are the desirable qualities of RLOs? • small, self-contained • generalisable across courses, institutions • engaging, interactive • platform independent, easily accessible • freely available • ‘difficult’ subject areas • made collaboratively - ownership • based on real need - inclusion/relevance
Consider: • How are you going to engage the users? • How are you going to actively involve them? • How are you going to assess their understanding? • What feedback will you give them? • Do you need to address learner preferences (accessibility)
