Identifying Learning Object Pedagogical Features to Decide Instructional Setting
2012
Despite the abundant availability of Learning Objects as valuable teaching-learning tools, their use amongst teachers and college instructors is limited. An important reason for this is that instructors are not easily able to search and retrieve the LOs which map to their instructional goals. LO metadata only partially addresses this problem since existing metadata does not contain all the necessary pedagogy related information. In this paper we identify the pedagogical features of an LO, and use them to classify an LO for the appropriate instructional setting. We also test our classification scheme of LOs in electrical engineering domain available in the OSCAR LO repository. Lastly we suggest metadata tags based on these pedagogical features that LO repositories can use for search and retrieval of LOs for specific educational goals.
