  3. LO Definition • Learning objects (LOs) consist of digitally reusable succinct portions of self-contained information. • These units of information can be combined into larger modules of information like building blocks to meet an individual’s needs in a variety of learning contexts.

  4. Benefits • Introduce content • Gauge prior knowledge and reinforce understanding • Assess learning through application of skills • Save time • Personalize curriculum

  5. Potluck Activity • On handout: • Identify learning tasks typically covered in one-shot sessions

  6. Potluck Activity • In a group: • Select educational task you have in common – identify potential LO

  7. Potluck Activity • Development Process Worksheet

  8. Share • What will your group’s LO do? • How could the LO be represented visually? • What are the educational objectives (purpose, audience, learning outcomes)? • What activities will be performed by the learner? • What resources are needed? • How will the learning outcomes be assessed?
