An Exploratory Study into the Efficacy of Learning Objects

Beyond PowerPoint™: Using Learning Objects to Enhance Social Work Courses

“…Nonetheless, it is commonly accepted that learning objects are digital media resources that are designed for a pedagogical purpose and are reusable (Farha, 2009;Wiley, 2000;Windle et al, 2010). Typically they are self-contained digital objects that present small ''chunks'' of content.…”

“…A learning object is a reusable digital resource with a pedagogical purpose (Farha, 2009;Wiley, 2000;Windle, McCormick, Dandrea, & Wharrad, 2010). Learning objects have been used in various disciplines in higher education.…”

Anatomical Models: a Digital Revolution

“…A digital 3D model offers advantages over digital 2D or physical models in interactivity, perspective, access, and cost, either as a stand-alone learning asset or as part of a larger digital learning object. Studies have examined the use of digital learning objects in education [52,53], and several have even considered these materials in medical education [10,13,18,19,22]. Evidence has been presented for positive, negative, and neutral impacts of digital models on student learning [18,[53][54][55][56][57][58].…”

Evaluación de la implementación de un objeto de aprendizaje desarrollado con tecnología H5P

“…En este sentido, existen estudios que han obtenido evidencias acerca de los beneficios y mejoras en la calidad de la educación y el aprendizaje de los estudiantes al utilizar OA como apoyo en las clases (Angrist y Lavy, 2002;Carr, Taasoobshirazi, Stroud, y Royer, 2011). Sin embargo, en estos estudios se han utilizado OA desarrollados por especialistas en diseño multimedia y en otros casos, se utilizaron OA publicados en repositorios (Farha, 2009;Kay y Knaack, 2009;Lau y Woods, 2008;Navas y Cabero, 2007). Esto se debe principalmente a que, en años anteriores diseñar OA era una tarea más compleja para ser realizada por parte de los docentes, debido a que se requería conocimiento de tres áreas específicas.…”
