What do people create for the Web? WS – Ways to reuse stuff we put on the
Web? What is the “stuff” people put on the Web? What is the “stuff” library media teachers put
on the Web? Lego Activity
Each person fits their lego piece together on the front table

Definition of Learning Objects
“ any entity, digital or non-digital, which can be used, re-used or referenced during technology supported learning.” David Wiley, Utah State University (http://www.reusability.org/read/chapters/wiley.doc)

Learning Objects are like… Puzzle Pieces And other examples???

Current Learning Objects (The stuff we currently put on the Web) Pictures Web sites WebQuests Text Etc.
All in the way we think is best… No standardization…

How We Currently Use Learning Objects
To create a lesson or unit... We search for learning objects and arrange
them into classes and courses We edit or revise their content We package the result and place on a Web
site in PowerPoint or put on a disk or print out for others

Learning Object Thinking The model: learning objects are bits of
instruction or instructional objects strung together to form a course
![Page 10: School Libraries and Learning Objects: PORTABLE and REUSABLE](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814c1e550346895db92147/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

How would you catalog this? What subject? Category?

Learning Emerges over Time
The use of learning objects consists not in stringing them together, like a narrative, but in arranging them, like (a painting, an orchestra, a sand castle, … )

Learning Object Repositories Create a learning object and place into a
database Tag these objects using a standard. Content of tags – title, grade, classification,
interactivity, subject, etc. – are used as parameters in a search.
Tags are the “meta data” of a digital object
![Page 14: School Libraries and Learning Objects: PORTABLE and REUSABLE](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814c1e550346895db92147/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Learning Object Metadata Metadata is the content of a learning
object, like the label on a can. Learning Object metadata doesn’t describe
an object, it describes a use of an object That is why we need multiple metadata
schemes, because we have multiple uses Metadata
Definition from the Library of Congress: http://lcweb.loc.gov/standards/metadata.html
![Page 15: School Libraries and Learning Objects: PORTABLE and REUSABLE](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814c1e550346895db92147/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Example: Classification Classification is a classic example. What is
the topic of a learning object? That depends on which classification
scheme you use…
![Page 16: School Libraries and Learning Objects: PORTABLE and REUSABLE](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814c1e550346895db92147/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Example: Classification How would you classify this picture? Possibilities:
Hands? Lines? A runner? Start position? P.E.? Health?

Who Uses Learning Objects? Learning object designer creates tags for
learning objects Instructional designer (teacher, LMT, Web
designer) brings learning objects together

Ideal Learning Object Use The creation of metadata must occur in the
use of a learning object by many people These comments form part of the
description of the object, aid in searching

Structure of the Learning Objects Old: objects are placed in a sequence with
limited branching – limited choices, need for uniformity, static, single focus – like in silos
New: objects are placed in an environment – multiple choices, room for diversity, dynamic, multiple points of focus
![Page 20: School Libraries and Learning Objects: PORTABLE and REUSABLE](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814c1e550346895db92147/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

The Wider Context Linear Multi-threaded Content Delivery immersive, interactive Static, paced dynamic, unpaced Demonstration inference Learning objectives learner goals Motivation desire

Using Learning Objects (1) Old: Static, paced
Objects are organized in a predetermined order – the idea of succession
The delivery or invocation of objects is determined by time or sequence
This delivery is defined by an instructional designer or teacher
![Page 22: School Libraries and Learning Objects: PORTABLE and REUSABLE](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814c1e550346895db92147/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
[email protected]. Clovis Unified School District. November 2003.
Using Learning Objects (2) New: dynamic, unpaced
Objects are not ordered; each persists independently of the others
The delivery ore invocation of objects is triggered by events
The use of learning objects is based on learner choices
![Page 23: School Libraries and Learning Objects: PORTABLE and REUSABLE](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814c1e550346895db92147/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

A Learning Object Repository Supports teachers teaching Supports student learning
![Page 24: School Libraries and Learning Objects: PORTABLE and REUSABLE](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814c1e550346895db92147/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Learning Objects in Repositories: Continuous, not interrupted Task or project oriented, not subject
oriented Global, not local Dynamically organized, not statically
predetermined Learner driven, not instructor driven
