The paper is aimed to analyse the application of several scientific approaches, methods, and principles for evaluation of quality of digital learning objects (LOs) for Mathematics subject. The authors analyse the following approaches to minimise subjectivity level in expert evaluation of LOs quality, namely: (1) principles of multiple criteria decision analysis for identification of quality criteria, (2) technological quality criteria classification principle, (3) fuzzy group decision making theory toobtain evaluation measures, (4) normalisation requirement for criteria weights, and (5) scalarisation method for LOs quality evaluation. The applied approaches have been used practically for evaluation of LOs while implementing European Lifelong Learning programme’s eQNet project in Lithuanian comprehensive schools in winter and spring 2010.

Quality Optimisation

This paper analyses and presents the new scientific models and methods for the expert evaluation of quality of learning objects (LOs) paying special attention to LOs reusability level. Currently all existing approaches in the area are quite subjective and depend only on the experience of the decision-makers. The authors analyse several scientific methods and principles to minimise the subjectivity level in the expert evaluation of LOs quality. They are: (a) the principles of multi-criteria decision analysis for identification of quality criteria, (b) technological quality criteria classification principle, (c) fuzzy group decision making theory to obtain evaluation measures, (d) normalisation of the weights of criteria, and (e) scalarisation method for LOs quality optimisation. The authors demonstrate that the complex application of these approaches could significantly improve the quality of the expert evaluation of LOs and noticeably reduce the level of the expert evaluation subjectivity. The paper also presents the example of practical application of these approaches for evaluation of LOs for Mathematics subject.

Los Organismos de Acreditación de programas académicos reconocidos por el Consejo para la Acreditación de laEducación Superior y avalados por la Secretaria en Educación Pública, incluyen en su marco de referencia la evaluación de los Servicios de Apoyo para el Aprendizaje (SAPA). Sin embargo, el grado de aplicación difiere según la especialidad del programa educativo; por ejemplo, los especializados en el área de informática y computación que son acreditados por CONAIC se enfrentan a indicadores más exhaustivos que además de medir los mecanismos e instrumentos de control y administración de servicios múltiples, se enfocan en la calidad de las herramientas que dan soporte a la educación semipresencial o virtual, por medio del uso y manejo de plataformas educativas en línea y objetos de aprendizaje digitales contextualizados con una metodología de trabajo que da seguimiento a las actividades, recursos y actores involucrados en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje. The Accreditation Bodies of academic programs recognized by the Council for the Accreditation of Higher Education and endorsed by the Secretary of Public Education, include in their frame of reference the evaluation of Support Services for Learning (SAPA). However, the degree of application differs according to the specialty of the educational program; For example, those specialized in the area of computer science and computing that are accredited by CONAIC face more exhaustive indicators that, in addition to measuring the mechanisms and instruments of control and administration of multiple services, focus on the quality of the tools that support to blended or virtual education, through the use and management of online educational platforms and digital learning objects contextualized with a work methodology that tracks the activities, resources and actors involved in the teaching and learning process.

Digital Learning Objects

Recent and ongoing technological advancement has resulted in omnipresence of technology everywhere. More importantly, the use of technology has become characteristic of today's education. Pedagogy as it is traditionally understood is now changing more swiftly than ever before. Scholars suggest that such shift is natural and needed because Industry 4.0 requires the type of education that anticipates and meets its demands or helps to solve its challenges. Even though technology-enhanced learning (TEL) promises positive changes, the lifetime of the smaller TEL units, namely digital learning objects (DLOs), is not necessarily a long one. In scientific discourse, there is considerable criticism towards unsustainable use of technology and innovative teachers' practices. The main research question focuses on what peculiarities and, especially barriers, occur when teachers implement DLOs and what aspects should be highlighted in teacher training programs for the adaptation to be implemented successfully.

The influence of immersive gaming and simulations on e-learning cannot be understated. While there has been some successful harnessing of interactivity and immersive spaces for e-learning, more awareness of related fundamentals may enhance e-learning. This chapter discusses the role of graphics in interactivity (live and automated) and immersion and strategies for creating effective interfaces, virtual spaces, contexts, agents, and 3D digital learning objects.

Motion Images

In the open-shared teaching and learning space, the complexity of the shared learning contents vary. These range from stand-alone items and digital learning objects to full learning sequences and sets of resources. One humble object is the animated GIF, lightweight motion images used in graphical user interfaces (GUIs), expressive memes and commentary, emoticons, and other applications. Animated GIFs are fairly easy to create; they may be integrated into learning documents (handouts, slideshows, articles) and other objects, and it plays offline (and without the need for any downloadable player). This work involves an analysis of some available animated GIFs for education in social imagery collections. Based on findings, this work explores the viability of animated GIFs for various open-shared learning applications globally and some potential strategies and tactics, given real-world limits.
