  1. Colossus Learning Objects What and Why (but not How)

  2. Outline • What is a COLOSSUS Learning Object? • What is it for? • What is it made of? • What can it do? • What can’t it do? • What we will not look at • How • Sources • Inspiration

  3. What does it look like?

  4. What is it for? • Why make one • OK so it is a good idea—but what is it for? • Pedagogy • Content

  5. Purpose: Pedagogy • Requirements • have an explicit learning objective • contain at least 15 minutes of learner activity • be assessable • be engaging

  6. a learning objective • An explicit learning objective • “After you have successfully completed this LO you will be able to …” • explain, make, do, etc. • May be more than one objective • Derived from/related to HN Social Science • Need not be an outcome in a unit • Of general relevance

  7. at least 15 minutes of learner activity • Activity is the measure • 15 min is the minimum • Could be as long as week • Need not all be in front of a PC • Case studies, research, etc. • Based on LO

  8. assessable • Achievement of learning objective(s) CAN be assessed • Formative • Embedded in object OR External • Assessment advice should be included in tutor notes

  9. engaging • Active experience • Visually stimulating • Interactive content • Stuff to do • Something a bit different • Does not have to be technically sophisticated • Pass on your ideas

  10. Purpose: Content • Base on resources from JISC collections • Primary Sources • Text • Images • Video, audio • Statistics • Etc.

  11. What is it made of? • Anything you can find on the internet • Text, Images • Audio, Video • Animations • Forms, Boxes • Links • Etc. …

  12. What can it do? • From a learning and teaching perspective • Pick and Mix options • Content • Text • Image • Multimedia • Animations, simulations • Interactivity • Content • “Quizzes” • Structure

  13. Content: Text • Formatted and illustrated text • “Libraries” and “collections” • Longer texts • References • Links (structure and navigation)

  14. Content: Image • Colour images • Zoom • Pan • “Interactive” images • Hotspots • Links

  15. Content: Multimedia • Audio • Simple capture • Simple play controls • Download an option • Computer generated narration

  16. Content: Multimedia • Video • Simple play control • Download an option

  17. Content: Animations, simulations • “Images that move” • Things that you can control • Graphs and charts • Mindmaps • Etc. • “Powerpoint”

  18. Interactivity • From viewing to engagement • Options • Structure and navigation • Interactive content • Quizzes • Beyond the learning object

  19. Interactivity: Structure • Clicking as interaction • Navigation choices • Further information • Popups • Structure alternatives • Narrative • Reference • Etc.

  20. Interactivity: Content • “Clickable content” • Simulations

  21. Interactivity: “Quizzes” • Questions scored with feedback • T/F, MCQ • FITB • Drag & Drop • Other types • Reflect and reveal • Model answer • Download worksheet

  22. Tracking • System can track • Time on task • Progress • Scores and attempts • “Mastery” • Bookmarking • Value?

  23. What can’t it do? • Human interaction • Discussion • Question and answer • Judgement • Assessments • Change and react • Content is fixed • Learners cannot change or add to it

  24. What shouldn’t it do • Standard is capable of interpretation • Best practice excludes • Links outside an object • Hyperlinks within main structure • Not to keen on • Packages with one page

  25. Getting started • Resources and Ideas • Resource Log • Learning Design • Almost anything is possible • Not everything is practical
