How do we use in different learning
paradigms?

• Who is we?
• What is used?
• How what is used by we?

4
Some pedagogical paradigms

5
Tutorial, Drill and Practice

• a tutorial environment
• a testing/assessment environment
• Reuse unit
• items
• tests

6
Case Method

• A teaching case is a story describing, or based
  on, actual events, that justifies careful study
  and analysis by students
• discussion-based and experiential
• Reuse Unit
• teaching case

7
Goal-based learning

• simulations in which there is a problem to
  resolve, or a mission to complete.
• require learners to assume the main role in the
  resolution of the problem or the pursuit of their
  mission
• Reuse Unit
• scenario
• Supporting experience

8
Learning by designing

• core learning activity is the design of an
  artifact.
• practice-based disciplines (engineering
  architecture)
• Reuse Unit
• none

9
Web-based role-play simulation

• learners take on the role-profiles of specific
  characters in a contrived educational game
  (Linser, Naidu, Ip, 1999)
• acquire the intended learning outcomes make
  learning enjoyable
• Reuse Unit
• scenario, role descriptions
• resources

10
Distributed problem-based learning

• exemplifies authentic learning and emphasizes
  solving problems in rich contexts
• Reuse Unit
• problems

11
Critical incident-based computer supported
learning

• A critical incident (from the workplace) presents
  a learner with a learning opportunity to reflect
  in and on action.
• Reuse Unit
• none
• learning support needed

12
Rule-based simulation

• Microworlds, or computer simulations of
  restricted environments
• Reuse Unit
• agents in microworlds

13
Exploratory Learning

• Through the process of discovery, or guided
  discovery, the student learns facts, concepts,
  and procedures.
• Reuse Unit
• resources and related metadata description for
  discovering the resources

14
Cognitive tool

• learn with interactive learning tools
• Reuse unit
• tools

15
Resource-based Learning Environment

• emphasizes a transformation of meaning through
  learner-centered, system-facilitated action
• Reuse unit
• resources

16
Summary

17
Types of resources

• specifically written up reading material
• resources originally created for other purposes
• multimedia resource (content, situations and
  authority)
• structured resources (together with
  interactivity)
• special software

Attaching LOM does not make a digital entity a
learning object!

• Metadata is for resource discovery
• Attaching Metadata to a resource may make the
  resource a learning resource - found

21
Rendering a digital entity does not make
learning object!

• Rendering enables interaction with a resource
• Rendering may promote a resource to an object

22
Educational resource may NOT be learning resource

• Teacher resource is educational resource
• Teacher resource is NOT learning resource
