Learning Objects: What are they? How do I use them?

Date: This Thursday, June 18, 2009 10:00 a.m. PDT
Presenter: Terry Bartelt, Instructor, Fox Valley Technical College
Length: 90 minutes

Description: Terry Bartelt of Fox Valley Technical College will answer the question, “What are learning objects, and how do I use them with my students?” Terry will give examples of these animated and interactive chunks of learning and show two websites, www.wisc-online.com and an electromechanical site where they can be accessed at no cost.

Two multimedia designers who work with Terry at FVTC in Appleton, Wisconsin, will demonstrate innovative digital applications recently added to Wisc-Online.com to reinforce learning. These include games in which students can test their knowledge, and engaging videos, avatars (animated characters), and scenarios in which learners solve real life problems.

The Wisc-Online digital library of 2,300 learning objects receives more than 6 million hits each month from users around the globe. Through a National Science Foundation grant, 300 learning objects on automation, robotics, mechanics, fluid power, and process control were recently added to the site.

In his presentation, Terry will explain how instructors from any field can use learning objects and author their own games to enhance learning.
