Learner use of learning objects
- 2005

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article reports findings from a study exploring the generativity (Gibbons, Nelson, & Richards, 2000; Parrish, 2004) and discoverability (Friesen, 2001) of learning objects in the hands of the learner. Through the convergence of two separate pilot projects—the Canadian EduSource initiative through Athabasca University, and the researchers’ ongoing study of affective learning in online learning environments (Cleveland-Innes & Ally, 2004)—learner perspectives of learning object use and value was evaluated. Participants in the study of affective outcomes in the workplace worked independently with learning objects and outlined the interaction with learning object repositories and individual learning objects. Analysis of learners’ activity and response indicates that selection of learning object repositories and objects is based on personal needs and expectations for satisfying desired learning outcomes. Data analysis found pedagogical and contextual implications of learning object technology from the point of view of the learner. Results suggest that there is opportunity to combine learning object technology with consideration for learner engagement in designs that support lifelong learning principles and focus on learner development rather than the content or the technology. Cet article nous fait part des résultats d’une ́étude explorant la générativité (Gibbons, Nelson, & Richards, 2000; Parrish, 2004) et la facilité à trouver (Friesen, 2001) des objets d’apprentissage entre les mains des apprenants. Grace à la convergence de deux projets pilotes distincts—l’initiative EduSource de l’Université Athabasca, et l’étude en cours des auteurs de l’apprentissage affectif dans des environnements d’apprentissage en ligne (Cleveland-Innes & Ally, 2004)—la perspective des apprenants à propos de l’utilisation et de la valeur des objets d’apprentissage a été évalué. Les participants à l’étude sur les conséquences affectives en milieu de travail ont utilisé des objets d’apprentissage de manière indépendante et ont souligné l’interaction entre les dépôts d’objets et les objets d’apprentissage individuels. L’analyse de l’activité et de la réponse des apprenants indique que le choix des dépôts d’objets d’apprentissage et des objets eux-memes est basé sur les besoins personnels et les attentes de l’apprenant sur les capacités des objets à satisfaire les besoins d’apprentissage. L’analyse des données a permis d’identifier des conséquences pé́dagogiques et contextuelles de la technologie derrière les objets d’apprentissage, du point de vue de l’apprenant. Les résultats suggèrent qu’il y a une opportunité de combiner la technologie soutenant les objets d’apprentissage et une péoccupation pour l’engagement de l’apprenant grâce à des designs qui soutiennent les principes de l’apprentissage à vie et se centrent sur le développement de l’apprenant plutôt que sur le contenu de la technologie.

- Athabasca University - Canada's Open University (AU) made the commitment to put all of its courses online as part of its Strategic University Plan. In pursuit of this goal, AU participated in the eduSource project, a pan-Canadian effort to build the infrastructure for an interoperable network of learning object repositories. AU acted as a leader in the eduSource work package, responsible for the metadata and standards for learning objects. In addition, the team of professionals, academics, librarians and other researchers worked to create an accessible repository of learning objects across university departments and subjects. Most critically, the team worked beyond the development of a learning object repository and considered the adaptation of content and related applications, pedagogical approaches and the use of learning objects by instructional designers, faculty and the learners themselves. This paper describes one institution's approach to learning object repository development, from a technical and pedagogical perspective, along with some of the lessons learned during the process.

Learning to feel : Education, affective outcomes and the use of online teaching and learning
- 2006
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Research employing an experimental design pilot tested two delivery platforms, WebCT and ElluminateLive, for the generation of affective learning outcomes in the workplace. Ten different organizations across Western Canada asked their call centre/help desk staff to participate in an online course on customer service. One hundred and one participants were randomly assigned to two types of online learning management systems. Data comparing results of the two groups are inconclusive in relation to delivery outcomes, but indicate there is potential for soft skill development and affective gain using online delivery. Both groups performed well on tests of knowledge regarding appropriate affect in customer service environments. Soft skill assessment showed small gains from time one to time two for participants studying in both platforms. Differences between groups were seen in two observations. There was greater engagement and interaction among participants in the WebCT group. Additionally, the WebCT group yielded higher exam scores, but differences between exam means were not statistically significant.
