Learning Objects

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), (2002) defines a learning object as "any entity, digital or non-digital, that may be used for learning, education or training"


Here is a nifty little one with Australian dollars to help give the right change. Learning managers could challenge students with a time frame say 10 secs for each amount, with more capable students to achieve the desired result in the most creative way they can. These types of learning objects can promote a deeper understanding and higher order thinking by allowing the interaction of the students with visual and tactile learning styles in the classroom.

The use of digital cameras to capture the learning experience and then later revisiting the experience to create a presentation of the outcomes though tools such as Movie Maker or PowerPoint in fact allow the students to redraw and expand on knowledge .


I really enjoy the Maths online learning objects I feel they are quite helpful  for teachers to engage to expand on ways to explain specific information to students and also the students themselves to have an account at home to go through as the tutorial is visual and enables you to pause and rewind.
