Digital Learning Objects

A general observation is that 20% of reusable learning objects (RLOs) are adopted at least for a time, but a majority of LOs are created (probably for local purposes), placed online, and not used at all by others. This work explores how digital learning objects (DLOs) may be coded for desirable features for local adoption and usage. This then explores how DLOs are actually designed with varying weights applied to the desirable DLO features of users. Finally, there is a gaps analysis between what inheritors of DLOs are looking for and what design and development teams and instructional designers actually create. If digital learning objects are to be more widely shared, having instructional designers and developers close the gap in LO work may be an important step. A main challenge involves a fundamental imbalance in incentives in the LO economy as currently practiced.

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.

Online Teaching And Learning

In this chapter, the two authors co-construct meaning of their individual lived experiences as education faculty engaging in online teaching and learning. It highlights each faculty unique experiences facilitating graduate student learning in an online environment. Co-construction of meaning centers on pedagogical approaches, program design and focus, reflection of faculty-self experiences, employment of digital learning tools, and utilization of best practices of each faculty experience with teaching and learning in an online environment. This narrative is co-constructed following a collaborative autoethnographic approach by two faculty, whereby the central descriptions of each faculty member is situated in one's lived experiences and rich story of facilitating and instructing courses in an online learning environment. The faculty experiences are mainly derived from teaching graduate courses offered by a department of education. The research method in presenting two self-reflective narratives in online teaching and learning extends to doing “collaborative autoethnography.”

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.

We substantiate the relevance of the use of pedagogical design at different levels of education, including preschool, general, and higher education. It is noted that in order to ensure the development of future bachelors’ ability to organize the artistic and aesthetic development of pre-school children, taking into account the principles of pedagogical design, it is necessary to design and implement an educational discipline for bachelors of pedagogical education, the profile “Pre-school Education” – “Method of Artistic and Aesthetic Development of a Preschooler”. For this purpose, modern interpretations of the term “pedagogical design” are analyzed, and the stages of the ADDIE method of pedagogical design are studied. Pedagogical design is defined as the colla-borative process of developing a course using specific learning goals and pedagogical theories to define learning strategies, activities, and assessments to achieve the desired educational outcomes. It is revealed that pedagogical design uses design principles to promote student engagement and includes the development of structures, digital learning objects, and multimedia resources to im-prove the quality of teaching and learning. We disclose the conceptual and analytical stage of the pedagogical design of the course “Methods of Artistic and Aesthetic Development of a Preschoo-ler” taking into account Bloom’s taxonomy and knowledge types by L.W. Anderson and D.R. Krathwohl. The results of the survey of students are presented. It is noted that the use of pe-dagogical design is a promising direction that allows building mixed learning. It is established that the effective format of interaction between the teacher and the student in the framework of mixed learning will be Face-to-face driver, when the teacher gives the main volume of the educational plan in person and uses online training as an auxiliary.

Tradicionalmente centrados na fgura do professor, os contextos de ensino e de aprendizagem também são afetados, signifcativamente, pela introdução das TDIC no cotidiano. É nesse cenário que se destacam os Objetos Digitais de Aprendizagem. Na caracterização específca dos ODA, os metadados exercem função primordial. É a partir dessas instâncias, em que se organizam os sistemas digitais de busca e armazenamento de arquivos, que os ODA se diferenciam de outros objetos digitais disponíveis on-line. O presente trabalho verifca a caracterização dos metadados em dois objetos digitais de aprendizagem disponíveis no Banco Internacional de Objetos Educacionais, observando sua confguração, segundo dois diferentes padrões: IEEE-LOM e Dublin Core. Conclui-se apontando que a organização do Banco Internacional de Objetos Educacionais aponta para a valorização da interoperabilidade em sistemas de armazenamento e distribuição de conteúdo digital. A adoção do padrão Dublin Core tem vantagens signifcativas no que tange a interoperação de objetos digitais, facilitado pelo esquema básico com quinze elementos capazes de serem traduzidos para outros padrões.Palavras-chave: Ensino.

Unusual Position

This research paper applies a mixed-method approach for the investigation of challenges and eligible solutions for the online teaching and learning techniques, as well as, their impact on the professional identification of the educational system, students, and professors. The discussion would be about the outcomes of both quantitative and qualitative approaches for detailed examination of the revealing problems in digital learning, by using the explanatory type of research supplied with both statistics and descriptive analysis of various categories, approaches, models and types. Statistics of further mentioned surveys and examinations underline the existing issues in the online teaching & learning platform, which is the difficulty in the management of their time (both students and instructors); less interest in studies; less gained help from instructors; technology disruptions or unawareness of their usage. In addition to this, the research emphasizes the approaches/models and categories for resolving the indicated challenges by illustrating three essential techniques for online teaching and learning: course design, the interaction of both students and instructors, and the level of preparedness of the professors for the distance teaching. Moreover, the analysis of the results and discussions of the research findings underline the possible affirmative results, the flexibility of studying designs and their outcomes, also professors' and students' capability of interfacing for mutually positive outcomes. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching and learning activities in the classroom have been permanently halted. Students in their last years of high school and university are in an unusual position that makes it extremely difficult to observe the upcoming future. The duration of the pandemic, as well as its impacts on everyday living, costs, and other financial struggles, might have a serious influence on college and adolescents' ability to continue their studies. The insecurity generated by disruptions in the academic sphere is concerning. Undergraduate and graduate students' circumstances have created adverse situations such as the need to drop out of school.

Author Barbara Ross, co-founder and Chief Operating Office of WebCT, Inc., posits that in the future the “course” will become a decreasingly important construct in the “course management system.” Building on a personal reflection on teaching and learning in higher education, she predicts an evolving focus on effective pedagogy will drive academic enterprise systems to support learning outcomes and assessment, a proliferation of digital learning objects, commercial and open source tool integration and an increasing focus on the student. In conclusion, she reminds skeptics of the changes in the last five years and looks forward to a bright, dynamic future.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created the largest disruption of education systems in human history, affecting nearly 1.6 billion learners in more than 200 countries. Closures of schools, institutions and other learning spaces have impacted more than 94% of the world’s student population. This has brought far-reaching changes in all aspects of our lives. Social distancing and restrictive movement policies have significantly disturbed traditional educational practices. Reopening of schools after relaxation of restriction is another challenge with many new standard operating procedures put in place. Within a short span of the COVID-19 pandemic, many researchers have shared their works on teaching and learning in different ways. Several schools, colleges and universities have discontinued face-to-face teachings. There is a fear of losing 2020 academic year or even more in the coming future. The need of the hour is to innovate and implement alternative educational system and assessment strategies. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided us with an opportunity to pave the way for introducing digital learning. This article aims to provide a comprehensive report on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on online teaching and learning of various papers and indicate the way forward.
