I and a colleague will be presenting this paper:
Presentation: "A Condensation and Review of Various "Learning Object"
Activities and Efforts"
[10493]
Date: Wed, Nov
3
Time: 03:25 PM-03:45 PM
The abstract is:
The phrase "learning objects" appears to have replaced the phrase
"learning resources." A keynote speech at E-learn 2002 described a
major effort in Canada under the direction of Canarie. At E-learn
2000, several professors from Acadia University presented learning
object-like materials, and were not aware that in the same day, a
brief paper was presented on the IEEE P1484 standards efforts which
focuses on Learning Object Metadata. And, none of these presentations
made reference to the further work of Berners-Lee in W3C (the
MIT-based effort to extend web functionality to enhance information
retrieval and learning). What do all these efforts have in common? Our
paper provides a framework which distinguishes between "elemental
learning objects" and learning objects capable of full web-wide usage
via "methods," "properties," and "inheritance." We suggest that a
coherent framework will greatly increase the generation of learning
tools by eliminating overlapping efforts.
