CREATION OF STATIC LEARNING OBJECTS

Dr. Giorgi Goguadze

Creating Static Learning Objects

• Authoring tool allows WISYWIG creation of Learning Objects• Metadata can be edited in the Metadata Editor in the right panel• Mathematical Formulas can be created using an embedded formula editor

Creating and Editing Learning Objects

• Create new item• Edit existing item• Translate existing item

Different types of LOs can be defined in Math-Bridge

Authoring a body of a Learning Object

• Rich text editor palette, habitual formatting tools• Images, Tables and Lists• Embedded graphical formula editor

Authoring a body of a Learning Object

• Translating content into a different language

Editing Metadata of a Learning Object• Authoring General Descriptive Metadata

• Creator, Contributor• Rights

Editing Metadata of a Learning Object• Authoring Pedagogic Metadata, such as competencies, field of study etc.• Semantic Metadata such as for relation, domain prerequisites and so on.

Publishing a Learning Object

• After editing and saving a LO one can publish it

• Publishing moves the item from the local workspace (sandbox) into a collection

• The collection can be selected in the item info dialogue

Different Types of LOs have different Metadata

• Depending on the type of LO some metadata might not be applicable

• In case of Example metadata like difficulty and competency are activated

This metadata was not applicable to the item definition

Editing and Translating Existing LOs

• In order to copy an existing object, switch to the tab „all content“• Click the button „Copy In My Workspace“

Editing and Translating Existing LOs

• Switch back to “My Workspace”• Click On “Edit” to edit the item• After editing the LO can be saved and republished
