  2. What are DLMs? • “Any digital resource that can be reused to support learning” David A. Wiley, "Connecting Learning Objects to Instructional Design Theory“ • "[A]ny entity, digital or non-digital, which can be used, re-used or referenced during technology supported learning" Learning Object Metadata Working Group of the IEEE Learning” Technology Standards Committee (LTSC)

  3. DLMs… • Interactive • Games, tasks, simulations, case studies Promote learning of concepts, skills • Provide feedback (synchronously or asynchronously) and self-assessment • Quizzes and surveys

  4. How DLMs Enhance Learning • Activity-based learning experiences/Active learning Stimulates and engages the learner • Self-paced • Increased time on task – “Practice makes perfect.”
