  2. University of Ontario Institute of Technology • Opened Sept 2003 • 1 hour east of Toronto • Focus on math & science • Faculty of Education • 70 IS students (2003) • 90 IS students (2004-5) • 215 PJ/IS students (2006) • 270 PJ/IS students (2007) • 4,300 students in total • Ubiquitous computing

  3. In this workshop you will: • Find out what a learning object is • Evaluate learning objects • Search for learning objects • Design a learning object lesson plan

  4. Workshop Website faculty.uoit.ca/kay/itec2007lo

  5. Where did you come from today? • Durham area • York area • KPR area • Toronto area • Waterloo area • Ottawa area • London area • Other

  6. What subject do you teach? • Math • Science • English • Geography • History • Arts • Other

  7. What is your comfort level with computers ? • Not at all comfortable • Somewhat Comfortable • Comfortable • Very Comfortable

  8. How often do you use technology in your classroom ? • Daily • Weekly • 1-2 times a month • Monthly • 1-2 times per term • Once a year • Never

  9. What influences your use of technology?

  10. Barriers to using technology • Access • Ability • Attitudes • Training • Time • to learn software • time to prepare lesson

  11. What is a Learning Object? • Small web based program • Typically free • Interactive • Easy to learn and use • Graphics & Animation to support learning • Specific content area • Motivating

  12. LO Examples 1 • The Structure of Metal • Algebra Balance Scales • Spy Guy – Volume • Alpha, Beta, Gamma of Radiation

  13. Best Learning Object? • The Structure of Medal • Algebra Balances Scales • Spy Guy (Volume & Displacement) • Alpha, Beta, & Gamma of Radiation

  14. Good Learning Objects 2 • Does it load quickly? • Does it look good? • Is it easy to use? • Does the multimedia actually help learning? • Is there good interactivity? • Is the feedback clear and helpful?

  15. Finding Learning Objects 3 • Bottom Line – It can be frustrating, time consuming, particularly if you are looking for a specific concept • Start with LORDEC at:education.uoit.ca/lordec and go to collections • Now the fun begins – Find a partner

  16. LORDEC Learning Object Databases • Math • Interactivate • NCTM Illuminations • National Library of Virtual Manipulatives • The Learning Federation • PRISM - GSP • Top Sites • Ron Blond Math • Learn Alberta

  17. LORDEC Learning Object Databases • Science • The Learning Federation • ILC Ontario LOs • Chemistry Experiments • WISC Online • BBC

  18. Find a few good LOs 4 • Find 1-3 good learning objects • Be prepared to share why they are good

  19. Present an LO or two

  20. Instructional Wrap 5 • Does the LO work at school? • Introduction for play and problems • Individual vs. Pairs vs. Class vs. Home Activity • Strategies • Introduction to a concept • Follow-up after a lesson • Constructive learning • Discussion after/while using LO • Time Reminders • Guiding Handout is a must • Consolidation is a must

  21. Create Lesson Plan with an LO 6 • In pairs, create a lesson plan for a learning object you have found • I would like groups to share what they came up with

  22. Present Lesson Plan with LO

  23. Summary • Good Learning Objects are: • easy to use • Interactive (more than point & click) • Challenging to find • Wrapped in a good lesson plan
