Researching online tools for learning content authoring and considering use of these in the e-learning environment.
Though I know what learning objects are because I have taught at GaVS for several years, I could never explain them or how they were developed and or placed in the curriculum until I applied to be a developer this past spring and I had to do a portfolio for the position. That is when I got my first taste of LOs. In summary a learning object helps support student learning by allowing them to practice and check their understanding of the material. There are several different types of Los - lecture, powerpoint, game, activity, quiz, etc. There are many free and fee based LO sites - here are a few free ones I found interesting:
1) Learning Tools According to the site the "Multimedia Learning Object Authoring Tool enables content experts to
easily combine video, audio, images and texts into one synchronized
learning object. All assets are configured to be played back in a
pre-configured order. Users do not need to perform any programming
tasks, but rather going through a graphical user interface to generate
the learning object." This would be great to make presentations.
2) Classtools "Here you can great free games, quizzes, activities, and diagrams in seconds." There are tons of different activity including Fake Facebook, SMS conversations, crossword puzzles, etc. This site is free, but they do have a pay option.
3) Scratch is a website that allows users to create stories, animations, and games to share with the learning community. Great place for short bits of information or vocabulary.
4) Study Stack is a free site that allows users to create their own stack of vocabulary terms or search previous stacks. Vacabulary terms can be studied in a variety of ways.
5) Quizlet Like study stack, it allows users to create their own stack of vocabulary terms or search previous stacks. Vacabulary terms can be studied in a variety of ways.
