Learning Objects

Guest post by Lynn Zayac and Gordon Hall (CIT)

Learning objects are interactive instructional animations typically used in online courses, but obviously they can be used in many teaching and learning environments. We are hosting a series of information sessions on learning objects, how to make them, and how to use them in teaching:

• Monday (10/6) , 9:30 to 10:00 am
• Tuesday (10/14), 9:00 to 9:30 and 10:00 to 10:30 am
• Wednesday (10/22), 10:30 to 11:00 am

Here are a few examples of learning objects we created for classes at Westfield State:

1. Long Bone Identification Exercise
2. Applying Theory Culture
3. Cultural Values of Selected Countries

We also prepared a brief summary hand-out on learning objects. Hope to see you for the information sessions!
