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.

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
