Using Learning Objects to Develop Online Learning Resources

This presentation will discuss the development of an eLearning tool called eGuide, which is based on an educational principal called Learning Objects. IntroductionStudents were highly dependent on lecture notes as the main source of clinical information. They often cited non-academic sources in assessments and were reluctant to search the journal databases.They reported that searching the internet for clinical information and resources was time consuming and confusing.They were unsure which sites were reliable and what information was current and applicable.The Problem

Clearly, as part of continuing professional development and annual certification, Registered Nurses need to be able to:

find and access reliable and up-to-date clinical information; read and understand it; and extract key information to help inform their practice. The Concern

70% of adults report that health-related information on the internet influences their health decisions.59% of Americans used internet health information to make decisions for their children.Researchers analysed 1300 web sites for the accuracy of information on infant sleep safety and compared them to the published recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Only 43.5% provided the correct advice. Government and organisation websites had the highest rate of accurate information whilst blogs and websites by individuals had the lowest.Reliability of InformationChang, Sung & Hou (2006) highlight the increasingly important role of information technology in the instructional environment. However, the lack of appropriate software for instructional purposes inhibits the process of integrating technology with instruction.

The Challenge

Develop a tool that would direct students to reliable and clinically appropriate web-based resources.Construct an educational platform to support this tool using the resources we already had and those that were freely accessible.Identify incentives aimed at motivating students to access and utilise the resources.The Solution

Oliver (2008) discusses the value in developing Web-based tools that support an enquiry-based learning approach.

He recommends that the conceptual design underpinning development of any web-based tool should address specific questions.Developing Web-based ToolsIs it meaningful in the contexts for student learning?Does it support (scaffold) independent learning?3. Does it provide opportunities for teacher support and feedback?4. Does it provide strong administrative efficiencies?

Developing Web-based Tools

What is eGuide?

eGuide is an online tool that has been specifically designed to direct (guide) learners to reliable clinical information and resources available on the internet.

It requires the student to read and make decisions about the information they access.

eGuide is a stand-alone web-based package that does not rely on platforms such as Blackboard or Moodle. Students register online and access the resources on the eGuide website.

Each eGuide is constructed using PowerPoint and linked to a range of selected Learning ObjectsLearning objects are:

any entity, digital or non- digital, which can be used, re-used or referenced during technology supported learning

(Wylie, 2000).

What are Learning Objects?Orrill (2000) comments

While there are undoubtedly advantages to the development of these learning objects, we have, as a field, overlooked the most important aspect of the tools how they support student learningWhat are Learning Objects?

Nursing with a Community Focus (45 Credits, Year 3)Integration & IncentivisationTime is scheduled into the timetable to complete the eGuides.They are included as formative assessments in the assessment schedule.They are linked to classroom and clinical activities.

+Integration & IncentivisationThey have multiple functions:a resource for Problem Based Learning (PBL);evidence of research and identification of evidence-based practice while on placement and used as evidence towards achieving clinical competencies; to help research literature for academic assessment (Journal Article); andas revision notes for the end of semester Integrated Exam.

ConclusionBeing able to provide information to students that capitalizes on the multimedia capabilities of computers in an affordable, time-sensitive way is rewarding for the teacher and the learner.

eGuide provides learning objects that are transferable to new situations and can be used by students in a variety of ways.

eGuide provides a standardized template/framework that makes it easy to create new learning resources. Being able to provide information to students that capitalizes on the multimedia capabilities of computers in an affordable, time-sensitive way is rewarding for the teacher and the learner.
