DESIGNING REUSABLE LEARNING OBJECTS: MATCHING DELIVERY MODELS TO CONTENT

摘要

The size and scope of online instruction is rapidly increasing. Instructor time, talent, and resources are potential constraints on instructional quality in the online environment. Reusable learning objects have been proposed as a means of simplifying the development of online environments. Past research indicates that for some learners, certain delivery models may be more effective than others for computer-based environments. This paper discusses three instructuctional delivery models that intersect six categories of learning with respect to automated learning environments and learning objects. We create a selection matrix that leads to the development of the LessonContent XML-based document type definition.
