It neither links out, nor does it depend on other LOs for pre or post instruction. It pre-tests students’ knowledge of the target concept, and measures learning through a post-test. It incorporates technology tools for online instruction and addresses a variety of learning styles.
LO Components • Learning objective • Time on task • Pre-test • Warm-up/Introduction • Lecture + Activity X 3 (w/feedback) • Post-test • Survey
Learning Styles • Online Learning Objects • Multimedia elements: • Narrated PowerPoint Presentations • Camtasia movies • Voice over recordings • Computer skills movies • Interactive tutorials etc. etc. etc.
