Moving Beyond……… Learning Objects • What is a Learning Object? • Reusable, Interoperable, Durable, and Accessible • Objective specific lesson available online • How are they used? • Used to replace or enhance traditional lesson • Dynamic means of presentation • How can I find some already made?MERLOThttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=301670

5. Precipitating Factors • Lack of lab space and time • Limited instructor availability • Cost of supplies for practice (lab materials may cost as much as $12 each) • Limited student-instructor interaction • Unsatisfactory pass rates

6. Video Interactive Learning Objects • Have specific objectives • Are very short (5-15 minutes) • Present video recordings of lessons or procedures • Have built-in quizzes and are interactive • Are widely accessible to students 24/7 • Are viewed repeatedly

7. How is this different than class? • Viewed prior to class as preparation • Viewed by students when they are studying • Available on CDs, DVDs, etc. • Available via iPod (and other MP4 players) • Available 24x7 from streaming server, www.ivyvilos.com • Used for self remediation rather than instructor remediation • Used in place of consumable lab supplies

8. VILOs Benefits • Improve mastery of learning objectives • Enhance performance of skills during assessment • Accommodate diverse learning styles • Serve needs of students with disabilities • Present challenging content in engaging formats • Are available to students 24/7

9. Medical Laboratory Techniques • Approximately 30 skills competencies • Instructor demonstrates then students practice and check-off • Lab practical as part of final grade • Insufficient time for repeated practice

10.
