“…Dewald's (1999) analysis of online library learning objects was the first to identify the characteristics essential to facilitating learning. Subsequent research has confirmed her assertions that the most effective online learning resources relate to a specific learning need, have clear objectives, provide active/collaborative learning opportunities, present content in varying but appropriate media formats, focus on higher-level concepts rather than procedural skills, integrate feedback, and include help options (Bianco 2005;Blummer and Kritskaya 2009;Bowles-Terry, Hensley, and Hinchliffe 2010;Clark and Mayer 2011;Dewald et al 2000;Gold 2005;Macklin 2003;Oud 2009;Reece 2005;Somoza-Fernández and Abadal 2009). According to Blummer (2007), there are three levels for evaluating online library tutorial effectiveness: general assessment, which gauges if a resource functions as it should and shares desired information and can be measured through user surveys; individual user assessment, which can be assessed after the tutorial through a quiz, test, or other traditional learning assessment tool and determines if the resource has impacted learning; and programlevel assessment, which considers whether online learning objects accomplish stated goals at the institutional or macro levels.…”
