Learning Objects at CIPeL

The Centre for Inter-Professional e-Learning (CIPeL) at Coventry University provides a number of useful reusable learning objects.

Intute Reusable Learning Objects

These are the Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs) that Intute have evaluated and added to their nursing and midwifery section. If you search for 'rlo' you'll get a list of over 60 RLOs, they are mostly related to A&P but some of them are about research skills and referencing...

Learning Objects, Interoperability and Standards

An introduction/overview to the whole issue of learning objects, interoperability and IMS specifications in Learning Technology

Can you tell if they're learning?

The proliferation of Web-based learning objects makes finding and evaluating online resources problematic. While established Learning Analytics methods use Web interaction to evaluate learner engagement, there is uncertainty regarding the appropriateness of these measures. In this paper we propose a method for evaluating pedagogical activity in Web-based comments using a pedagogical framework, and present a preliminary study that assigns a Pedagogical Value (PV) to comments. This has value as it categorises discussion in terms of pedagogical activity rather than Web interaction. Results show that PV is distinct from typical interactional measures; there are negative or insignificant correlations with established Learning Analytics methods, but strong correlations with relevant linguistic indicators of learning, suggesting that the use of pedagogical frameworks may produce more accurate indicators than interaction analysis, and that linguistic rather than interaction analysis has the potential to automatically identify learning behaviour.

Tutor's guide to Study Skills Toolkit 2007

Tutor's guide for using the Study Skill's Toolkit learning objects - these are currently available to all 1st year undergraduates in the University via Blackboard. Produced by Julie Watson in elanguages.

Hoisting (6/9)

This learning object demonstrates the hoisting technique and includes various common assessment examples, such as effective communication. It features and was narrated by Alis Racey, Senior Lecturer in Occupational Therapy at York St.John University. The technique has been split into 9 reusable learning objects (this is no.6). These resources have been developed through funding from the ALPS CETL. Publisher: York St John University

Personal Learning Environments and Digital Literacies

This is a version of a seminar/keynote talk I have given a few times. It argues that VLEs are no longer fit for purpose and that students should learn to take responsibility for their own toolsets.

Institutional Personal Learning Environments – Paradise or Paradox? A Digital Literacies Perspective

This was my keynote presentation at Computer Supported Education (CSEDU) 2012, in Porto. It looks at the importance of digital literacies and how VLEs do not support their developmeng and looks at iPLEs as an alternative.

The Tyne Digital Library - Part 4 Datasets

This part contains geomorphological, hydrological and other information concerning the desktop research of the River Tyne catchment area.

The Tyne Digital Library - Part 3 Bibliography

This section consists of a comprehensive collection of bibliographic information covering five important themes to help you with the desktop research of the River Tyne catchment area.

The Tyne Digital Library - Part 2 Maps and Images

In this section, you will find maps showing various important aspects of the River Tyne catchment area. All the maps are drawn based on Ordnance Survey data made available via the Digimap service. For the land cover maps of the catchment area, four variants are provided. Please note that the full details of the intext citations quoted in some of the following maps can be found in the full bibliographic listing.

The Tyne Digital Library - Part 1 Introduction

The Tyne Digital Library (TDL) provides access to scholarly materials (e.g. papers, book chapters, bibliographic reference lists), databases of hydrological and physical information, maps of key physiographic and environmental data, and electronic journal articles, for students undertaking GEOG3023 River Basin Management. In addition, the TDL utilises technological innovations that enhance services for accessing this information.
