DESIGN REPRESENTATIONS TO DOCUMENT, MODEL, AND SHARE TEACHING PRACTICE 1
SHIR/EY AGOSTINHO, UNIVERSITY 0/ WO//ONGONG, AUSTRA/IA THE TERM LEAMING
DESIGN IS GAINING MOMENTUM IN THE E-LEAMING LITERATURE AS A CONCEPT FOR
SUPPORTING ACADEMICS TO MODEL AND SHARE TEACHING PRACTICE. ITS
DEFINITION AND COMPOSITION IS EVOLVING AND AS SUCH THERE IS CURRENTLY NO
STANDARD MODE OF REPRESENTATION FOR LEAMING DESIGNS IN EDUCATION.
INSTEAD THERE ARE SEVERAL EMERGING LEARNING DESIGN REPRESENTATIONS WITH
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES ABOUT THEIR PURPOSE. TBIS CHAPTER EXPLORES THESE
ISSUES AND PRESENTS A SUMMARY OF THE CURRENT DISCOURSE ABOUT LEAMING
DESIGNS. THE AIM OFTHIS CHAPTER IS TO ADDRESS A GAP IN THE LITERATURE BY
COMPARING AND CONTRASTING SIX LEAMING DESIGN REPRESENTATIONS. TBE
CHAPTER DISCUSSES THE RESEARCH CONDUCTED TO DATE ABOUT LEAMING DESIGN
REP- RESENTATIONS AND CONCLUDES BY PROPOSING A PATHWAY FOR FURTHER
RESEARCH. CHAPTERII REPRESENTING MODELS OF PRACTICE 20 ISOBE/ FA/CONER,
G/ASGOW CA/EDONIAN UNIVERSITY, SCOT/AND ALLISON LITT/EJOHN, G/ASGOW
CA/EDONIAN UNIVERSITY, SCOT/AND PRACTICE MODELS ARE GENERIC APPROACHES
TO THE STRUCTURING AND ORCHESTRATION OF LEAMING ACTIVITIES FOR PEDAGOGIC
PURPOSES, INTENDED TO PROMOTE SHARING OF EFFECTIVE E-LEARNING PRACTICE.
TBIS CHAPTER SURVEYS THE BACKGROUND TO THE IDEA OF PRACTICE MODELS, AND
THEN EXAMINES THE ISSUES SURROUNDING THEIR REPRESENTATION THAT EMERGED
FROM THE UK JOINT INFORMATION SYSTEMS COMMITTEE (JISC) FUNDED MOD4L
PROJECT. THESE ISSUES ARE ONES OF PURPOSE, DESIGN AS A PROCESS,
GRANULARITY, COMMUNITY, AND CHARACTERISATION. IT ANALYSES THE PURPOSE
AND THE METAPHOR FOR DESIGN, COUPLED WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE AUDIENCE
FOR PRACTICE MODELS, SUGGESTING THAT WHILE GENERIC MODELS ARE USEFUL FOR
TECHNICAL DEVELOPERS THEY MAY NOT BE AN EFFECTIVE WAY OF SHARING
TEACHING PRACTICE. THE POSSIBILITY THAT A RICH DOMAIN MAP COUPLED WITH
COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES AND RICHLY CONTEXTUALISED EXEMPLARS MIGHT
BE MORE EFFECTIVE IS BRIEFLY DISCUSSED. THE COMPLEX INTERACTIONS OF
CHARACTERISTICS OF A DESIGN REPRESENTATION UNDERPIN THE NECESSITY FOR
DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIONS TO FULFIL DIFFERENT USER NEEDS. CHAPTER IRR
USING THE IMS LD STANDARD TO DESCRIBE LEAMING DESIGNS 41 ROB KOPER, OPEN
UNIVERSITY 0/ THE NETHERLANDS, THE NETHERLANDS YONGWU MIAO, OPEN
UNIVERSITY O/THE NETHERLANDS, THE NETHERLANDS IMS LEAMING DESIGN (IMSLD)
IS AN OPEN STANDARD THAT CAN BE USED TO SPECIFY A WIDE RANGE OF
PEDAGOGI- CAI STRATEGIES IN COMPUTER-INTERPRETABLE MODELS. SUCH MODELS
THEN CAN BE PLAYED IN ANY LD COMPATIBLE EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT TO SUPPORT
TEACHERS AND STUDENTS TO CONDUCT ONLINE TEACHING-LEAMING. THIS CHAPTER
INTRODUCES THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED TO EFFECTIVELY USE LD. FIRST OF
A11,WE PRESENT FUNDAMENTAL PRIN- CIPLES BEHIND LD. THEN, WE INTRODUCE
MAIN CONCEPTS AND THEIR RELATIONS IN LD AND DISCUSS SOME TECHNICAL
ISSUES ABOUT HOW TO MAKE A LEAMING DESIGN EXECUTABLE IN A COMPUTER-BASED
ENVIRONMENT. FINALLY, HOW TO MODELLEAMING DESIGNS USING LD IS EXPLAINED
THROUGH DEMONSTRATING THE WHOLE PROCEDURE TO MODEL A USE CASE IN
EXTENSIBLE MARKUP LANGUAGE (XML). WE EXPECT THAT THE READERS OFTHIS
CHAPTER CAN APPLY LD TO CREATE SIMPLE LEAMING DESIGNS AND UNDERSTAND
LEAMING DESIGNS WITH SOPHISTICATED FEATURES. CHAPTERIV OPPORTUNITIES,
ACHIEVEMENTS, AND PROSPECTS FOR USE OFLMS LD 87 DAVID GRIFFITHS, THE
UNIVERSITY 0/ BOLTON, UK OLEG LIBER, THE UNIVERSITY 0/ BOLTON, UK THE
IMS LD SPECIFICATION IS
INTEMA11YCOMPLEXANDHASBEENUSEDINANUMBEROFDIFFERENTWAYS.AS A RESULT,
USERS WHO HAVE ABASIE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROLE OF THE SPECIFICATION IN
INTEROPERABILITY MAY NEVERTHELESS FIND IT DIFFICULT TO GET AN OVERVIEW
OF THE POTENTIAL OF THE SPECIFICATION, OR TO ASSESS WHAT HAS BEEN
ACHIEVED THROUGH ITS USE. THIS CHAPTER SEEKS TO MAKE THE TASK SIMPLER BY
ARTICULATING THE MODES OF USE OF THE SPECIFICATION, AND ANALYSING THE
WORK CARRIED OUT IN EACH. THE IMS LD SPECIFICATION IS BRIEFLY
INTRODUCED. FOUR ASPECTS OFTHE IMS LEAMING DESIGN SPECIFICATION ARE
IDENTIFIED AND DESCRIBED: MODELLING LANGUAGE, INTEROPERABILITY
SPECIFICATION, MODELLING AND METHODOLOGY, AND INFRASTRUCTURE. THE
DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES PROVIDED BY EACH MODE OF USE ARE EXPLORED AND
THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF WORK SO FAR CARRIED OUT ARE ASSESSED. A NUMBER OF
VALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS ARE IDENTIFIED, BUT THE PRACTICAL AND WIDESPREAD
USE OF THE SPECIFICATION TO EXCHANGE LEAMING ACTIVITIES HAS NOT SO FAR
BEEN ACHIEVED. THE CHANGING TECHNOLOGICAL AND ORGANISATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
IN WHICH IMS LD OPERATES IS DISCUSSED, AND ITS IMPLICATIONS EXPLORED.
CONCLUSIONS ARE OFFERED WHICH SUMMARISE ACHIEVEMENTS WITH IMS LD TO
DATE, WITH COMMENTS ON PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE. CHAPTERV A CRITICAL
PERSPECTIVE ON DESIGN PATTERNS FOR E-LEARNING 113 FRANCA GARZOTTO,
POLITECNICO DI MILANO, ITALY SYMEON RETALIS, UNIVERSITY OF PIRAEUS,
GREECE A DESIGN PATTERN DESCRIBES A PROBLEM WHICH OCCURS OVER AND OVER
AGAIN IN OUR ENVIRONMENT, AND THEN DESCRIBES THE CORE OF THE SOLUTION TO
THAT PROBLEM, IN SUCH A WAY THAT YOU CAN USE THIS SOLUTION A MILLION
TIMES OVER, WITHOUT EVER DOING IT THE SAME WAY TWICE (ALEXANDER ET AL.,
1977). IN THE FIELD OF E-LEARNING, DESIGN PATTERNS ARE FREQUENTLY
ADVOCATED AS A POWERFUL WAY OF PROVIDING STRUCTURED, TEACHER-FRIENDLY,
TEXTUAL REPRESENTATIONS OF LEARNING DESIGNS, OR OF EXPRESSING THE DESIGN
RATIONALE UNDERLYING LEARNING . OBJECTS. THE PURPOSE OFTHIS CHAPTER IS
TO LOOK AT E-IEAMING DESIGN PATTERNS FROM A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE. WE
PROVIDE A HISTORICAL, MULTIDISCIPLINARY EXCURSUS OF THE NOTION OF DESIGN
PATTERNS. WE PROPOSE A TAXONOMY OF E-IEAMING DESIGN PATTERNS, PROVIDING
EXAMPLES IN THE VARIOUS CATEGORIES. FINALLY, WE DISCUSS BOTH THE
BENEFITS OF DESIGN PATTERNS FOR E-LEARNING PROFESSIONALS (PARTICULARLY,
NOVICE ONES) AND THEIR DRAWBACKS, AND INVESTIGATE HOW SUCH PROS AND CONS
MAY AFFECT THE ROLE OF PATTERNS FOR LEARNING DESIGNS. CHAPTERVI USING
DESIGN PATTERNS TO SUPPORT E-LEARNING DESIGN 144 SHERRI S. FRIZELL,
PRAIRIE VIEW A&M UNIVERSITY, USA ROLAND HUEBSCHER, BENTLEY COLLEGE, USA
DESIGN PATTERNS HAVE RECEIVED CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION FOR THEIR POTENTIAL
AS A MEANS OF CAPTURING AND . SHARING DESIGN KNOWLEDGE. THIS CHAPTER
PROVIDES A REVIEW OF DESIGN PATTERN RESEARCH AND USAGE WITHIN EDUCATION
AND OTHER DISCIPLINES, SUMMARIZES THE REPORTED BENEFITS OF THE APPROACH,
AND EXAMINES DE- SIGN PATTERNS IN RELATION TO OTHER APPROACHES TO
SUPPORTING DESIGN. BUILDING UPON THIS WORK, IT ARGUES THAT DESIGN
PATTERNS CAN CAPTURE LEARNING DESIGN KNOWLEDGE FROM THEORIES AND BEST
PRACTICES TO SUPPORT NOVICES IN EFFECTIVE E-IEARNING DESIGN. THIS
CHAPTER DESCRIBES THE AUTHORS WORK ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF DESIGNS
PATTERNS FOR E-IEAMING. IT CONCLUDES WITH A DISCUSSION OF FUTURE
RESEARCH FOR EDUCATIONAL USES OF DESIGN PATTERNS. CHAPTERVN PATTERNS AND
PATTERN LANGUAGES IN EDUCATIONAL DESIGN 167 PETER GOODYEAR, UNIVERSITY
OFSYDNEY, AUSTRALIA DAI FEI YANG, UNIVERSITYOFSYDNEY, AUSTRALIA THIS
CHAPTER PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF RECENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D)
ACTIVITY IN THE AREA OF EDUCATIONAL DESIGN PATTERNS AND PATTERN
LANGUAGES. IT PROVIDES A CONTEXT FOR EVALUATING THIS LINE OFR&D BY
SKETCHING AN ACCOUNT OF THE PRACTICE OF EDUCATIONAL DESIGN, HIGHLIGHTING
SOME OF ITS DIFFICULTIES AND THE WAYS IN WHICH DESIGN PATTERNS AND OTHER
AIDS TO DESIGN MIGHT PLAYA ROLE. IT FOREGROUNDS A TENSION BETWEEN
OPTIMISING DESIGN PERFORMANCE AND SUPPORTING THE EVOLUTION OF DESIGN
EXPERTISE. THE CHAPTER PROVIDES EXAMPLES OFRECENT RESEARCH BY THE
AUTHORS ON DESIGN PATTERNS FORNETWORKED LEARNING, AS WEIL AS POINTERS TO
COMPLEMENTARY RESEARCH BY OTHERS. CONNECTIONS ARE MADE WITH R&D WORK ON
LEAMING DESIGN AND OTHER APPROACHES TO SUPPORTING DESIGN ACTIVITY.
CHAPTER VIII THE ROLE OF MEDIATING ARTEFACTS IN LEARNING DESIGN 188
GRAINNE CONOLE, THE OPEN UNIVERSITY, UK THE CHAPTER PROVIDES A
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK FOR UNDERSTANDING LEARNING ACTIVITIES: CENTERING
ON TWO KEY ASPECTS: (I) THE CAPTURE AND REPRESENTATION OF ACTIVITIES AND
(2) MECHANISMS FOR SCAFFOLDING THE DESIGN PROCESS, WHICH IS INTRODUCED
HERE AS A FONNAL METHODOLOGY FOR LEARNING DESIGN. THE CHAPTER BEGINS BY
DESCRIBING HOW INFONNATION CAN BE ABSTRACTED FROM LEARNING ACTIVITIES
VIA A RANGE OF DIFFERENT FONNS OF REPRESENTATION (MODELS, ICONIC
DIAGRAMS, TEXTUAL CASE STUDIES, ETC.), WHICH ARE DEFINED HERE AS
MEDIATING ARTEFACTS. LT DISCUSSES HOW DIFFERENT MEDIATING ARTEFACTS
CAN BE USED TO INFONN THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING A NEW LEARNING ACTIVITY.
LT AUGMENTS AND PROVIDES AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE THEORETICAL ARGUMENTS
DEVELOPED IN THE CHAPTER BY SUMMARIZING SOME OF THE FINDINGS FROM
RELEVANT RESEARCH ON LEARNING DESIGN AND USES THE DIALOGPLUS TOOLKIT AS
A CASE STUDY AND AN EXAMPLE OF A MEDIATING ARTEFACT THAT CAN BE USED TO
SUPPORT THE DESIGN OF A LEARNING ACTIVITY. THE TOOLKIT INCLUDES EXAMPLES
OF LEARNING ACTIVITIES (I.E., REPRESENTA- TIONS OF ACTIVITIES AS OUTLINE
IN I) AS WEIL AS GUIDELINES AND SUPPORT (LE., MECHANISMS FOR SCAFFOLDING
THE DESIGN PROCESS AS OUTLINED IN 2). THE CHAPTER ARGUES THAT THIS
APPROACH TO LEARNING DESIGN, WHICH CENTRES ON THE CONCEPT OF MEDIATING
ARTEFACTS, AND THEIR ROLE IN THE DESIGN PROCESS, CAN BE USED AS A
DESCRIPTIVE FRAMEWORK FOR DESCRIBING THE DYNAMICS, PROCESSES, AND
DIFFERENT ASPECTS INVOLVED IN LEARNING DESIGN. CHAPTERIX ACTIVITY THEORY
AND THE DESIGN OFPEDAGOGIC PLANNING TOOLS 209 ELIZABETH MASTERMAN,
UNIVERSITY 0/ OXFORD, UK THIS CHAPTER USES ACTIVITY THEORY TO CONSTRUCT
A FRAMEWORK FOR THE DESIGN AND DEPLOYMENT OF PEDAGOGIC PLANNING TOOLS.
IT STARTS BY NOTING THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY ON TEACHERS
PRACTICE, PARTICULARLY THE ROLE OF PLANNING IN THE CREATION OF EFFECTIVE
TECHNOLOGY-MEDIATED LEARNING. LT ESPOUSES THE RECONCEPTUAL- IZATION OF
PLANNING AS DESIGN FOR LEARNING AND IDENTIFIES A KEY ROLE FOR THE
EMERGENT GENRE OF PEDAGOGIC PLANNING TOOLS IN STIMULATING PRACTITIONERS
ENGAGEMENT IN THIS RECONCEPTUALIZED PRACTICE. DRAWING ON ACTIVITY
THEORY, THE CHAPTER THEN CHARACTERIZES THE PRINCIPAL ELEMENTS AND
RELATIONSHIPS IN DESIGN FOR LEARNING. FROM THE INSIGHTS GAINED, IT
ANALYZES RESEARCH DATA FROM TWO PROJECTS TO PINPOINT THE ENABLING
FACTORS AND TENSIONS IN CURRENT PRACTICE THAT MIGHT BE CONDUCIVE TO (OR,
CONVERSELY, IMPEDE) THE EFFECTIVE DESIGN AND DEPLOYMENT OF PEDAGOGIC
PLANNING TOOLS. IT THEN SYNTHESIZES THESE INTO A FRAMEWORK IN WHICH
SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS AND POLICY-MAKERS CAN EXPLORE THEIR OWN CONTEXTS FOR
IMPLEMENTING SUCH TOOLS. CHAPTERX DEVELOPING A TAXONOMY FOR LEARNING
DESIGNS 228 BARRY HARPER, UNIVERSITY O/WOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA RON OLIVER,
EDITH COWAN UNIVERSITY, AUSTRALIA THIS CHAPTER DESCRIBES THE DEVELOPMENT
OF A TAXONOMY OF LEARNING DESIGNS BASED ON A SURVEY OF 52 IN- NOVATIVE
ICT-USING PROJECTS THAT FORMED THE BASIS OF A GROUNDED APPROACH TO
CLASSIFYING HIGH QUALITY LEARNING DESIGNS. THE CONCEPT OF LEARNING
DESIGNS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SUPPORT ACADEMICS IN THE PROCESS OF
OFFERING HIGH QUALITY ICT SUPPORTED LEAMING SETTINGS IN THE HIGHER
EDUCATION SECTOR. THE TAXONOMY IS PROPOSED AS A MECHANISM TO EXPLORE
WAYS IN WHICH LEARNING DESIGNS CAN BE MADE ACCESSIBLE TO ACADEMICS AND
TO HELP WITH THE UNDERSTANDING OFTHE GOALS OFTHE LEARNING DESIGN
MOVEMENT. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TAXONOMY IS DESCRIBED AND USER REVIEW
OF THE REPRESENTATION OF LEARNING DESIGNS IN A WEB CONTEXT IS DISCUSSED.
FINALLY, THE CURRENT GAP IN THE LITERATURE ABOUT ACCURATE AND EFFECTIVE
TAXONOMIES DESCRIBING AND DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN VARIOUS FORMS OF
LEARNING DESIGN IS DISCUSSED IN RELATION TO FUTURE RESEARCH AGENDAS.
CHAPTERXI USING EXPERT REVIEWS TO ENHANCE LEARNING DESIGNS 243 CARMEL
MENAUGHT, THE CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG, HONG KONG PAUL LAM, THE
CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG, HONG KONG KIN-FAI CHENG, THE CHINESE
UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG, HONG KONG THE CHAPTER WILL DESCRIBE AN EXPERT
REVIEW PROCESS USED AT THE CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG. THE
MECHANISM USED INVOLVES A CAREFULLY DEVELOPED EVALUATION MATRIX WHICH IS
USED WITH INDIVIDUAL TEACHERS. THIS MATRIX RECORDS: (I) THE WEB
FUNCTIONS, AND THEIR USE AS E-IEARNING STRATEGIES, IN THE COURSE WEB
SITE; (2) HOW COMPLETELY THESE FUNCTIONS ARE UTILIZED; AND (3) THE
LEARNING DESIGN IMPLIED BY THE WAY THE FUNCTIONS SELECTED ARE USED, BY
THE COURSE DOCUMENTATION, AND GAUGED FROM CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
TEACHER. A STUDY OF 20 COURSE WEB SITES IN THE ACADEMIC YEARS 2005-06
AND 2006-07 SHOWS THAT THE MECHANISM IS PRACTICAL, BENEFICIAL TO
INDIVIDUAL TEACHERS, AND PROVIDES DATA OF RELEVANCE TO INSTITUTIONAL
PLANNING FOR E-IEARNING. CHAPTERXII LNVESTIGATING PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS
AS LEARNING DESIGN AUTHORS 263 MATTHEW KEARNEY, UNIVERSITY OFTEEHNOLOGY,
SYDNEY (UTS), AUSTRALIA ANNE PRESEOTT, UNIVERSITY OFTEEHNOLOGY, SYDNEY
(UTS), AUSTRALIA KIRSTY YOUNG, UNIVERSITY OFTEEHNOLOGY, SYDNEY (UTS),
AUSTRALIA THIS CHAPTER REPORTS ON FINDINGS FROM ARECENT PROJECT SITUATED
IN THE AREA OF PRESERVICE TEACHER EDUCA- TION. THE PROJECT INVESTIGATED
PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS AUTHORING AND USING THEIR OWN CONTEXTUALISED LEARN-
ING DESIGNS. THE CHAPTER DESCRIBES HOW SEVENTEEN SECONDARY AND PRIMARY
PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS ADAPTED EXISTING, WELL-RESEARCHED LEARNING
STRATEGIES TO INFORM THE DESIGN OF THEIR OWN SPECIFIC ONIINE LEARNING
TASKS AND HOW THEY IMPLEMENTED THESE TASKS IN THE CONTEXT OF THEIR
TEACHING PRACTICUM. THE PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS USED AN ONLINE LEARNING
DESIGN AUTHORING SYSTEM AS A TOOL AND FLEXIBLE TEST-BED FOR THEIR
LEARN- ING DESIGNS AND IMPLEMENTATION. AN ACCOUNT OF THE WAYS IN WHICH
THE PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS DEVELOPED SOPHISTICATED UNDERSTANDINGS OF THEIR
CHOSEN LEARNING STRATEGY AND DEVELOPED FRESH INSIGHTS INTO ONLINE AND
FACE-TO-FACE TEACHING ISSUES IS PRESENTED. CHAPTER XIII USING IMS
LEARNING DESIGN IN EDUCATIONAL SITUATIONS 282 PAUL HAZLEWOOD, LIVERPOOL
HOPE UNIVERSITY, UK AMANDA ODDIE, LIVERPOOL HOPE UNIVERSITY, UK MARK
BARRETT-BAXENDALE, LIVERPOOL HOPE UNIVERSITY, UK IMS LEAMING DESIGN (IMS
LD) IS A SPECIFICATION FOR DESCRIBING A RANGE OF PEDAGOGIC APPROACHES.
IT ALLOWS THE LINKING OF PEDAGOGICAL STRUCTURE, CONTENT AND SERVICES,
WHILST KEEPING THE THREE SEPARATE, THUS PROVIDING THE POTENTIAL FOR
RE-USE AS WEIL AS FORMING THE BASIS FOR INTEROPERABILITY BETWEEN LEAM-
ING ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES. AS SUCH, THIS SPECIFICATION PROMISES
UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD EFFECTIVE TUTOR SUPPORT AND
PRESENCE INTO E-LEARNING SYSTEMS. THE TOOLS THAT IMPLEMENT THE
SPECIFICATION HAVE PRIMARILY BEEN USED FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES AND HAVE
NOT BEEN TARGETED AT TEACHING PRACTITIONERS OR LEAMERS WORKING IN
TE~CHING AND LEAMING SITUATIONS. THERE IS A PERCEPTION AMONGST
PRACTITIONERS AND TOOL DEVELOPERS THAT THE SPECIFICATION AND TOOLS ARE
TOO TECHNICALOR DIFFICULT FOR PRACTITIONER USE. THIS CHAPTER EXAMINES
PRACTITIONER USE OF CURRENT TOOLS FOR CREATING IMS LD AND THE USE OFIMS
LD UNITS OF LEAMING (UOLS) WITH LEAMERS THROUGH PROJECTS BEING
UNDERTAKEN AT LIVERPOOL HOPE UNIVERSITY (LHU). IT PRESENTS SOME OF THE
EXPERIENCES AND FINDINGS GAINED FROM THESE PROJECTS. THE CHAPTER ALSO
EXAMINES CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES AND TOOLS FOR CREATING AND RUNNING IMS LD
UOLS, AND FINALLY DISCUSSES THE POTENTIAL AND FUTURE FOR IMS LD.
CHAPTERXIV ONLINE ROLE-BASED LEAMING DESIGNS FOR TEACHING COMPLEX
DECISION MAKING 295 ROBERT MELAUGHLAN, UNIVERSITY OFTEEHNOLOGY, SYDNEY,
AUSTRALIA DENISE KIRKPATRIEK, THE OPEN UNIVERSITY, UK DECISION-MAKING
PROCESSES IN RELATION TO COMPLEX NATURAL RESOURCE REQUIRE RECOGNITION
AND ACCOMMODA- TION OF DIVERSE AND COMPETING PERSPECTIVES IN ADECISION
CONTEXT THAT IS FREQUENTLY ILL DEFINED AND FRAUGHT WITH VALUE
JUDGEMENTS. ONLINE ENVIRONMENTS CAN BE USED TO DEVELOP STUDENTS SKILLS
AND UNDERSTAND- ING OF THESE ISSUES. THE FOCUS OF THIS CHAPTER IS THE
LEAMING DESIGN OF AN ONLINE ROLEPLAY-SIMULATION (MEKONG E-SIM) WHICH WAS
CREATED TO DEVELOP LEAMING EXPERIENCES ABOUT THESE TYPES OF ISSUES
ACROSS MULTIPLE INSTITUTIONS WITH STUDENTS FROM THE DISCIPLINES OF
ENGINEERING AND THE HUMANITIES. THE KEY STAGES OF INTERACTION WITHIN THE
E-SIM ARE DESCRIBED AND LINKED TO STUDENT TASKS, RESOURCES AND SUPPORTS.
THE EVOLUTION AND ADAPTATION OF THE LEAMING DESIGN USED IN THE MEKONG
E-SIM HAS BEEN DESCRIBED. EIGHT KEY CHALLENGES IN THE DESIGN AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF ONLINE ROLEPLAY-SIMULATIONS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED. IN
THIS CHAPTER WE HAVE TRIED TO ADDRESS A GAP IN THE ONLINE ROLE-BASED
COLLABORATIVE LEAMING LITERATURE ABOUT THE DESIGN OF THESE ACTIVITIES,
LINKAGES BETWEEN PEDAGOGY AND INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
AND HOW TO EXPLOIT THESE LINKAGES FOR EFFECTIVE LEAMING. CHAPTERXV
FACILITATING LEAMER-GENERATED ANIMATIONS WITH SLOWMATION 312 GARRY
HOBAN, UNIVERSITY OFWOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA DIGITAL ANIMATIONS ARE COMPLEX
TO CREATE AND ARE USUALLY MADE BY EXPERTS FOR NOVICES TO DOWN LOAD FROM
WEB SITES OR COPY FROM DVDS AND CDS TO USE AS LEAMING OBJECTS. A NEW
TEACHING APPROACH, SLOWMA- TION (ABBREVIATED FROM SLOW MOTION
ANIMATION ), SIMPLIFIES THE COMPLEX PROCESS OF MAKING ANIMA- TIONS SO
THAT LEAMERS CAN CREATE THEIR OWN COMPREHENSIVE ANIMATIONS OF SCIENCE
CONCEPTS. THIS CHAPTER PRESENTS THE LEAMING DESIGN THAT UNDERPINS THIS
NEW TEACHING APPROACH TO FACILITATE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR CREATING
ANIMATIONS TO BE SHIFTED FROM EXPERTS TO LEAMERS. THE LEAMING DESIGN HAS
FOUR PHASES WH ICH GUIDES INSTRUCTORS AND LEAMERS IN CREATING ANIMATIONS
OF SCIENCE CONCEPTS: (L) PLANNING; (2) ANALYSIS; (3) CONSTRUCTION; AND
(4) RECONSTRUCTION. THIS LEAMING DESIGN WILL BE ILLUSTRATED WITH TWO
EXAMPLES CREATED BY PRESERVICE PRIMARY TEACHERS IN SCIENCE EDUCATION AS
WEIL AS PROVIDING A DISCUSSION ABOUT POSSIBLE FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR
FURTHER RESEARCH. CHAPTERXVI REPRESENTATION OF COORDINATION MECHANISMS
IN LMS LD 330 YONGWU MIAO, OPEN UNIVERSITY 0/ THE NETHERLANDS, THE
NETHERLANDS DANIEL BURGOS, OPEN UNIVERSITY O/THE NETHERLANDS, THE
NETHERLANDS DAVID GRIFFITHS, THE UNIVERSITY 0/ BOLTON, UK ROB KOPER,
OPEN UNIVERSITY O/THE NETHERLANDS, THE NETHERLANDS GROUP INTERACTION HAS
TO BE METICULOUSLY DESIGNED TO FOSTER EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT
COLLABORATIVE LEAM- ING. THE IMS LEARNING DESIGN SPECIFICATION (IMS LD)
CAN BE USED TO CREATE A FORMAL REPRESENTATION OF GROUP INTERACTION AND
THE MODEL CAN THEN BE USED TO SCAFFOLD GROUP INTERACTION BY MEANS OF
COORDINA- TION SUPPORT AT RUN-TIME. IN THIS CHAPTER, WE INVESTIGATE THE
EXPRESSIVENESS OF IMS LD IN REPRESENTING COORDINATION MECHANISMS BY
USING COORDINATION THEORY AS AN ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK. WE HAVE FOUND THAT
IMS LD CAN REPRESENT ALMOST ALL THE BASIC COORDINATION MECHANISMS. WE
HAVE ALSO IDENTIFIED SOME HURDLES TO BE OVERCOME IN REPRESENTING CERTAIN
COORDINATION MECHANISMS. ACCORDING TO COORDINATION THEORY, COMMON
COORDINATION MECHANISMS CAN BE REUSED IN DIFFERENT SETTINGS. WE BRIEFLY
EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF REPRESENTING COORDINATION MECHANISMS AT A
HIGH-LEVEL OF ABSTRACTION, WH ICH WILL BE EASIER FOR INSTRUCTION
DESIGNERS AND TEACHERS TO UNDERSTAND AND USE. CHAPTER XVII MODELING
LEAMING UNITS BY CAPTURING CONTEXT WITH IMS LD 352 JOHANNES STROBEL,
PURDUE UNIVERSITY, USA GRETCHEN LOWERISON, CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY, CANADA
ROGER COTE, CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY, CANADA PHI/IP C. ABRAMI, CSLP,
CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY, CANADA EDWARD C. BETHEL, CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY,
CANADA IN THIS CHAPTER, WE DESCRIBE THE PROCESS OF MODELING DIFFERENT
THEORY-BASED, RESEARCH-BASED, AND BEST- PRACTICE-BASED LEAMING DESIGNS
INTO IMS-LD, A STANDARDIZED MODELING LANGUAGE. WE REFLECT ON THE
CONCEPTUAL AND PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES THAT ARISE WHEN MODELING WITH
IMS-LD, ESPECIALLY THE QUESTION OF GRANULARITY AND THE NECESSARY AND
SUFFICIENT ELEMENTS OFLEAMING DESIGN. WE PROPOSE A FOUR-LAYER MODEL BOTH
TO ENSURE THE QUALITY OFTHE MODELING PROCESS AND AS A NECESSARY STEP
TOWARDS A HOLISTIC CONSIDER- ATION AND INTEGRATION OF THE DESIGN
PROCESS. THESE DISCUSSIONS SPEAK TO THE CORE OF IMS-LD INTEGRATION,
ADDRESS THE QUESTION OFUSABILITY AND END-USER FRIENDLINESS AND URGE THAT
MORE RESEARCH AND DESIGN NEEDS TO BE CONDUCTED NOT ONLY TO MAINSTREAM
(A) THE ~SE OF IMS-LD AND RELATED VISUAL INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN LANGUAGES,
BUT ALSO (B) THE DEBATE ON APPROPRIATE AND BEST INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN
PRACTICES. CHAPTER XVIII DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR COLLABORATION AND
PARTICIPATION WITH EXAMPLES FROM THE LN4LD (LEARNING NETWORK FOR
LEARNING DESIGN) 373 DANIEL BURGOS, OPEN UNIVERSITY OFTHE NETHERLANDS,
THE NETHERLANDS HANS G. K. HUMMEL, OPEN UNIVERSITY OFTHE NETHERLANDS,
THE NETHERLANDS COLIN TATTERSALL, OPEN UNIVERSITY OFTHE NETHERLANDS, THE
NETHERLANDS FRANCIS BROUNS, OPEN UNIVERSITY OFTHE NETHERLANDS, THE
NETHERLANDS ROH KOPER, OPEN UNIVERSITY OFTHE NETHERLANDS, THE
NETHERLANDS THIS CHAPTER PRESENTS SOME DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR
COLLABORATION AND PARTICIPATION IN BLENDED LEARNING NETWORKS. AS
EXEMPLARY NETWORK WE DESCRIBE LN4LD (LEARNING NETWORK FOR LEARNING
DESIGN), WHICH WAS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE LEARNING AND DISCUSSION ABOUT
IMS-LEARNING DESIGN. LESSONS LEARNED FROM PILOT IMPLEMENTATIONS OFTHIS
NETWORK OVER APERIOD OF 5 YEARS ARE PHRASED AS GUIDELINES FOR FUTURE
LEARNING NETWORK IMPLEMENTATIONS. THE CHAPTER FOCUSES ON THE POSITIVE
INFLUENCE OF INCENTIVE MECHANISMS AND FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS ON ACTIVE
PARTICIPATION. THESE SUCCESSFUL INTERVENTIONS ARE EXPLAINED FROM
THEORIES ABOUT SELF-ORGANIZATION, SOCIAL EXCHANGE, AND SOCIAL
AFFORDANCES. REPEATED MEASUREMENTS SHOW THE LEVELS OFBOTH PASSIVE
(ACCESSING AND READING INFORMATION) AND ACTIVE PARTICIPATION (POSTING,
REPLYING AND RATING) TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE AS A RESULT OFBOTH
INTERVENTIONS. BOTH THE USE OF INCENTIVE MECHANISMS AND FACE- TO-FACE
MEETINGS CAN THEREFORE BE CONSIDERED AS VALUABLE ELEMENTS FOR FUTURE
MODELS FOR COLLABORATION IN LEARNING NETWORKS, AND FOR ESTABLISHING AN
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY OF LEARNING DESIGNERS. SEETION 11 LEARNING
OBJECTS CHAPTERXIX THE DESIGN OFLEARNING OBJECTS FOR PEDAGOGICAL
IMPACT... 391 TOM BOYLE, LONDON METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY, UK THIS CHAPTER
ARGUES THAT GOOD DESIGN HAS TO BE AT THE HEART OF DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE
LEARNING OBJECTS. LT BRIEFLY OUTLINES THE KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING
APPROACH TO LEARNING OBJECTS BASED ON METADATA AND PACK- AGING. THE
KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING APPROACH, HOWEVER, IGNORES THE ISSUE OFHOW TO
DESIGN AND DEVELOP PEDAGOGICALLY EFFECTIVE LEARNING OBJECTS. THE
CHAPTERCONCENTRATES ON THE CENTRAL ISSUE OFTHE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF
LEARNING OBJECTS. THE FIRST PART OF THE CHAPTER OUTLINES AND ILLUSTRATES
KEY DESIGN PRIN- CIPLES. THE MIDDLE PART OFTHE CHAPTER EXAMINES HOW
THESE CAN BE EMBEDDED IN AN AGILE DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY FOR
DEVELOPING LEARNING OBJECTS. THE FOLLOWING SECTION SHOWS HOW EFFECTIVE
DESIGNS CAN BE CAPTURED AND MADE AVAILABLE IN A TOOL TO SUPPORT THE
AUTHORING AND REPURPOSING OF LEARNING OBJECTS. FINALLY, THE CHAPTER
EXAMINES THE WIDER PICTURE LINKING LEARNING OBJECTS AND LEARNING DESIGNS
AND POINTS TO THE CHALLENGE OF LAYERED LEARNING DESIGN. CHAPTERXX
VISUAL MEANING MANAGEMENT FOR NETWORKED LEAMING 408 MARGARET TURNER,
UNIVERSITY OLTHE SUNSHINE COAST, AUSTRALIA THIS CHAPTER INTRODUCES AN
APPROACH TO WRITING CONTENT FOR ONLINE LEAMING OVER NETWORKED MEDIA. IT
ARGUES THAT FEW RESOURCES CURRENTLY UTILISE THE FLUID AND MULTI-VOICED
CAPACITY OFTHE INTEMET S NETWORKED NODAL STRUCTURE TO PROVIDE MULTIPLE
PATHWAYS THROUGH CONTENT, OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AND
REFLECTION OR COLJABORATION WITH PEERS IN KNOWLEDGE BUILDING. LEAMING
OBJECTS ARE ONE WAY TO CONCEPTUALISE CONTENT IDEAS AND LEAMING
ACTIVITIES WITHIN THIS FLEXIBLE ENVIRONMENT. TO EFFECTIVELY USE THIS
RESOURCE REQUIRES SOMETHING QUITE DIFFERENT TO TRADITIONAJ SEQUENTIAL
WRITING. A MORE APPROPRIATE APPROACH IS TO USE NONLINEAR SOFTWARE THAT
CAN MAP THE NODES OFTHE KNOWLEDGE DOMAIN AND MAKE VISIBLE THE INTERNAL
RELATIONSHIPS, CONNECTIONS AND PATHS OF MEANING. THE PURPOSE OF THIS
CHAPTER IS TO PROVIDE THE READER WITH A GUIDE TO DEVELOPING A BETTER
UNDERSTANDING OF HOW MEANING IS MANAGED VISUALLY, AND PROPOSES TOOLS AND
STRATEGIES FOR A NEW STRUCTURE OF WRITING FOR NETWORKED MEDIA.
CHAPTERXXI MODIFICATION OFLEAMING OBJECTS FOR NESB STUDENTS 428
CHRISTINA GITSAKI, THE UNIVERSITY OLQUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA DUE TO THE
INCREASINGLY DIVERSE STUDENT POPULATION IN MULTICULTURAL NATIONS SUCH AS
AUSTRALIA, THE V.S., CANADA, AND THE UK, EDUCATORS ARE FACED WITH THE
CHALLENGE OF HOW TO BEST MEET THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS WITH LIMITED ENGLISH
PROFICIENCY WITHOUT WATERING-DOWN THE CURRICULUM. THE USE OF
EDUCATIONAL DIGITAL RESOURCES IS ONE WAY OF ENHANCING NON-ENGLISH
SPEAKING BACKGROUND (NESB) STUDENTS ACADEMIC SKILLS AND UNDERSTANDINGS,
BUT WITHOUT EXPLICIT ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL) SUPPORT
INTEGRATED INTO THESE RESOURCES THE BENEFITS FOR NESB STUDENTS ARE
LIMITED. THIS CHAPTER DOCUMENTS A STUDY OFTHE CONTENT AND FORMAT OF A
NUMBER OF LEAMING OBJECTS DESIGNED BY THE LE@AMING FEDERATION IN AN
ATTEMPT TO EXPLORE HOW SPECIFIC LEAMING OBJECTS CAN BE MODIFIED TO
ADDRESS THE LANGUAGE NEEDS OFNESB STUDENTS AND UNLOCK THE VALUE OFTHEIR
CONTENT. DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR ESL ADAPTATION OF DIGITALLEAMING CONTENT
ARE PROVIDED BASED ON CURRENT RESEARCH AND SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
(SLA) PRINCIPLES. CHAPTER XXII LEAMING OBJECTS, LEAMING TASKS, AND
HANDHELDS 451 DANIEL CHURCHILL, THE UNIVERSITY 01 HONG KONG, HONG KONG
JOHN GORDON HEDBERG, MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY, AUSTRALIA THE MAIN IDEA
BEHIND LEAMING OBJECTS IS THAT THEY ARE TO EXIST AS DIGITAL RESOURCES
SEPARATED FROM THE LEAMING TASK IN WHICH IT IS USED.THIS ALLOWS A
LEAMING OBJECT TO BE REUSED WITH DIFFERENT LEAMING TASKS. HOWEVER, NOT
ALLIEARNING OBJECTS OPERATE IN SIMILAR WAYS, NEITHER ARE ALLIEARNING
TASKS THE SAME, AND THIS EXPOSES THE PROBLEM THAT CURRENT
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM LITERATURE FAH TO LINK LEARNING OBJECTS AND THEIR
REUSE IN VARIED LEAMING TASKS. IN THIS CHAPTER, WE EXPLORE DEFINITIONS
OF LEAMING OBJECTS AND LEAMING TASKS. WE ALSO SUGGEST THAT APPROPRIATE
MATCHES WOULD LEAD TO MORE EFFECTIVE PEDAGOGICAL APPLICATIONS THAT CAN
BE USED AS SET OF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DESIGNERS OF LEARNING OBJECTS AND
TEACHERS WHO PLAN LEARNING TASKS AND SELECT LEARNING OBJECTS FOR STUDENT
LEAMING ACTIVITIES. IN ADDITION, WE DISCUSS APPLICA- TIONS OF LEARNING
OBJECTS DELIVERED BY EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES WH ICH MAY CHANGE HOW DIGITAL
RESOURCES ARE ACCESSED AND USED BY STUDENTS IN AND OUT OF CLASSROOMS.
CHAPTER XXIII TECHNOLOGY, CURRICULUM, AND PEDAGOGY IN THE EVALUATION OF
AN ONLINE CONTENT PROGRAM IN AUSTRALASIA 470 PETER FREEBODY, THE
UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA SANDY MUSPRATT, GRIJJITH UNIVERSITY,
AUSTRALIA DAVID MERAE, EDUEATIONAL CONSULTANT, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA THE
QUESTION ADDRESSED IN THIS CHAPTER IS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE FOR THE
EFFECTS OF ONLINE PROGRAMS OF LEAMING OBJECTS (HENCEFORTH LOS) ON
MOTIVATION AND LEAMING? MUCH OFTHE RESEARCH AVAILABLE ON ICTS GENERALLY
YIELDS SHORT-TERM OR AMBIGUOUS FINDINGS, WITH RECOMMENDATIONS. THAT
CENTRE ON THE NEED FOR MORE ATTENTION TO THEORIZING AND DOCUMENTING: *
HOW ICTS CAN BE LOCATED WITHIN SEQUENCES OF CURRICULAR LEAMING; * THE
KINDS OFLEAMING THAT NEW ICTS OFFER (FACTUAL, CONCEPTUAL, APPLICATION,
AND TRANSFER); AND * THE WAYS IN WHICH EXISTING PEDAGOGIES AND USES
OFICTS BOTH ADAPT TO AND TRANSFORM ONE ANOTHER. THIS CHAPTER AIMS TO
ADVANCE DISCUSSION OF THESE ISSUES BY SUMMARIZING ONGOING EVALUATIONS OF
A LARGE-SCALE NATIONAL PROGRAM OF ONLINE LOS ACROSS KEY CURRICULUM
AREAS, DRAWING ON SURVEY AND INTERVIEW DATA AND A FIELD EXPERIMENT IN
WHICH THE EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO LOS ON LEAMING OUTCOMES IN MATHEMATICS
ARE DOCUMENTED. CHAPTER XXIV EFFECTIVE USE OFLEAMING OBJECTS IN CLASS
ENVIRONMENTS. 493 DAVID LAKE, JAMES COOK UNIVERSITY, AUSTRALIA KATE
LOWE, MURDOEH UNIVERSITY, AUSTRALIA ROB PHILLIPS, MURDOEH UNIVERSITY,
AUSTRALIA RIEK CUMMINGS, MURDOEH UNIVERSITY, AUSTRALIA RENATO SCHIBEEI,
MURDOEH UNIVERSITY, AUSTRALIA THIS CHAPTER PROVIDES A MODEL TO ANALYSE
THE EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY OF LEAMING OBJECTS BEING USED IN
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS BY CONSIDERING THEIR PLACE WITHIN THAT
EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT, PAYING PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE MANNER IN
WHICH THEY, LIKE ANY RESOURCE, CAN AID OR OCCLUDE PRODUCTIVE
INTERAETIONS BETWEEN TEAEHERS AND STUDENTS. IT DRAWS FROM A STUDY OF
AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND SEHOOLS THAT PILOTED THE FIRST RELEASE OF
LEAMING OBJEETS FROM THE LE@MING FEDERATION. THE EHAPTER EONSIDERS THE
PLACE OFLEAMING OBJEETS WITHIN THE OVERALL SYSTEMIE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT,
AND IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, EXAMINES THE INDIVIDUAL CLASSROOM AS THE
EOMBINATION OFTENSIONS BETWEEN THE TEAEHER S NEEDS, THE STU- DENTS
NEEDS, AND THE POTENTIAL AVAILABLE WITHIN THE EXISTING INFRASTRUETURE.
WITHIN THIS FRAMEWORK, THE EHAPTER DISEUSSES THE WAYS IN WHIEH THESE
THREE COMPONENTS INTERAET DURING TEAEHER SELECTION OFLEAMING OBJECTS,
STUDENTS AECESSION OFLEAMING OBJEETS IN THE CLASSROOM, AND THE USE
OFTHE LEAMING OBJECTS BY STUDENTS. IT EONELUDES BY SUGGESTING HOW
STUDENTS EONSTRUETION OFKNOWLEDGE EAN BE ENHANEED THROUGH MERGING THE
CAPABILITIES OFTHE RESOUREE WITH THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS AND TEAEHERS.
CHAPTERXXV A EUROPEAN EVALUATION OF THE PROMISES OF LOS 515 ROBERT
MECORMIEK, THE OPEN UNIVERSITY, UK TOMI JAAKKOLA, UNIVERSITY OFTURKU,
FINLAND SAMI NURMI, UNIVERSITY OFTURKU, FINLAND MOST STUDIES ON REUSABLE
DIGITALLEARNING MATERIALS, LEAMING OBJECTS (LOS), RELATE TO THEIR USE IN
UNI- VERSITIES. FEW EMPIRICAL STUDIES EXIST TO EXPLORE THE IMPACT OFLOS
ON PEDAGOGY, ESPECIALLY IN SCHOOLS. THIS CHAPTER PROVIDES EVIDENCE FROM
AN EVALUATION OF THE USE OF LOS IN SCHOOLS. THE EVIDENCE IS FROM AN
EU-FUNDED PROJECT CONTEXT E-LEARNING WITH BROADBAND TECHNOLOGIES,
INVOLVING 500 SCHOOLS IN SIX COUNTRIES ACROSS EUROPE, TO EXAMINE THE
IMPACT OF LOS ON PEDAGOGY. IT BROUGHT TOGETHER PRODUCERS AND USERS TO
TRY OUT TECHNICALLY AND PEDAGOGICALLY SOUND WAYS OF PRODUCING, MAKING
AVAILABLE THROUGH A PORTAL, AND USING LOS. THIS CHAPTER REPORTS DATA
FROM BOTH QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE STUDIES CONDUCTED DURING 2004,
INCLUDING: ONLINE SURVEYS (OF ALL THE TEACHERS INVOLVED), ROUTINE DATA
FROM THE PORTAL, SEMI- STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS IN 40 SCHOOLS IN ALL SIX
COUNTRIES, EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES IN ONE OF THESE COUNTRIES AND 13
C1ASSROOM CASE STUDIES IN FOUR OF THEM. CHAPTER XXVI INSTRUCTIONAL
EFFECTIVENESS OF LEARNING OBJECTS 532 TOMI JAAKKOLA, UNIVERSITY OLTURKU,
FINLAND SAMI NURMI, UNIVERSITY 01 TURKU, FINLAND THERE HAS BEEN A CLEAR
LACK OFRIGOROUS EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OFLEARNING
OBJECTS (LOS) IN EDUCATION. THIS CHAPTER REPORTS THE RESULTS OFFOUR
EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES THAT INVESTIGATED THE EFFECTIVE- NESS OF
DRILL-AND-PRACTICE AND SIMULATION-TYPE LOS INCOMPARISON TO MORE
TRADITIONAL TEACHING METHODS. RESULTS SUGGEST THAT A SIMULATION LO THAT
WORKS AS A TOOL TO SUPPORT STUDENTS EXPLORATION PROCESS CAN BE
ESPECIALLY HELPFUL TO STUDENTS INQUIRY LEAMING,BUT DRILL-AND-PRACTICE
LOS ARE LESS EFFECTIVE THAN TRADITIONAL TEACHING METHODS IN PROCEDURAL
LEARNING. FINDINGS ALSO STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT WE SHOULD NOT SEE LOS AND
TRADITIONAL METHODS AS RIVALS BUT AS BEING COMPLEMENTARY TO ONE ANOTHER.
THE AUTHORS HOPE THAT THE RESULTS CAN INFORM TEACHERS, ;NSTRUCTIONAL
DESIGNERS, AND CONTENT PRODUCERS AS TO WHAT ASPECTS THEY SHOULD CONSIDER
WHEN DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING LOS IN DIFFERENT EDUCATIONAL CONTEXTS.
CHAPTER XXVSS EVALUATING LARGE-SCALE EUROPEAN LO PRODUCTION,
DISTRIBUTION, AND USE 553 ROBERT MCCORMICK, THE OPEN UNIVERSITY, UK THIS
CHAPTER WILL EXAMINE THE APPROACH TAKEN IN THE EVALUATION OF A
LARGE-SCALE FEASIBILITY TRIAL OF THE PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, AND USE
OF LEAMING OBJECTS (LOS). THIS WAS CARRIED OUT BY PARTNERS IN SEVERAL
COUNTRIES OF EUROPE AS PART OF THE CONTEXT E-LEARNING WITH BROADBAND
TECHNOLOGIES (CELEBRATE) PROJECT, COORDINATED BY EUROPEAN SCHOOLNET. THE
PROJECT PRODUCED A LARGE NUMBER OFLOS AND INVOLVED LINKING UP COMMERCIAL
AND MINISTRY PRODUCERS OF LOS TO MAKE AVAILABLE THEIR PRODUCTS TO
TEACHERS IN SIX COUNTRIES. THE CHAPTER EXAMINES WHAT IT MEANS TO
EVALUATE LEARNING OBJECTS, GIVEN THAT THEY ARE BOTH PARTICULAR OBJECTS
AND A GENERAL IDEA, ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT GIVEN THE DEARTH OF EMPIRICAL
STUDIES OFTHE USE OF LOS. IT THEN GOES ON TO EXPLORE THE WAY THIS WAS
TACKLED STRATEGICALLY AND TACTICALLY, HEARING IN MIND A EUROPEAN CONTEXT
OF DISTRIBUTED LOCATIONS, DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AND EDUCATION SYSTEMS.
CHAPTER XXVSSI COLLABORATIVE ARGUMENTATION IN LEARNING RESOURCE
EVALUATION 574 JOHN C. NESBIT, SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY, CANADA TRACEY L.
LEACOCK, SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY, CANADA LEARNING OBJECT REVIEW
INSTRUMENT (LORI) IS AN EVALUATION FRAMEWORK DESIGNED TO SUPPORT
COLLABORATIVE CRITIQUE OFMULTIMEDIA LEARNING RESOURCES. IN THIS CHAPTER,
THE INTERACTIONS AMONG REVIEWERS USING LORI ARE FRAMED AS A FORM OF
COLLABORATIVE ARGUMENTATION. RESEARCH ON COLLABORATIVE EVALUATION OF
LEARNING RESOURCES HAS FOUND THAT REVIEWERS QUALITY RATINGS TEND TO
CONVERGE AS A RESULT OFTHEIR INTERACTIONS. ALSO, NOVICE INSTRUCTIONAL
DESIGNERS HAVE REPORTED THAT COLLABORATIVE EVALUATION IS VALUABLE
PREPARATION FOR UNDERTAKING RESOURCE DESIGN PROJECTS. THE AUTHORS REASON
THAT COLLABORATIVE EVALUATION IS EFFECTIVE AS A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
METHOD TO THE DEGREE THAT IT SUSTAINS ARGUMENTATION ABOUT THE
APPLICATION OF EVIDENCE-BASED DESIGN PRINCIPLES. CBAPTER XXIX FOR THE
ULTIMATE ACCESSIBILITY AND REUSABILITY 589 PHILIPPE MARTIN, GRIFFITH
UNIVERSITY, AUSTRALIA MICHEL EBOUEYA, UNIVERSITY OF LA ROCHELLE, FRANCE
THIS CHAPTER FIRST ARGUES THAT CURRENT APPROACHES FOR SHARING AND
RETRIEVING LEARNING OBJECTS OR ANY OTHER KINDS OF INFORMATION ARE NOT
EFFICIENT OR SCALABLE, ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE ALMOST ALL OF THESE
APPROACHES ARE BASED ON THE MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC INDEXATION OR MERGE OF
INDEPENDENTLY CREATED FORMAL OR INFORMAL RESOURCES. IT THEN SHOWS THAT
TIGHTLY INTERCONNECTED COLLABORATIVELY UPDATED FORMAL OR SEMIFORMALLARGE
KNOWLEDGE BASES (SEMANTIC NETWORKS) CAN, SHOULD, AND PROBABLY WILL, BE
USED AS A SHARED MEDIUM FOR THE TASKS OF RESEARCHING, PUBLISHING,
TEACHING, LEARNING, EVALUATING, OR COLLABORATING, AND THUS EASE OR
COMPLEMENT TRADITIONAL METHODS SUCH AS FACE-TO- FACE TEACHING AND
DOCUMENT PUBLISHING. TO TEST AND SUP- PORT THESE CLAIMS THE AUTHORS HAVE
IMPLEMENTED THEIR IDEAS INTO A KNOWLEDGE SERVER NAMED WEBKB-2 AND BEGUN
REPRESENTING THEIR RESEARCH DOMAIN AND SEVERAL COURSES AT THEIR
UNIVERSITIES. THE SAME UNDERLYING TECHNIQUES COULD BE APPLIED TO A
SEMANTIC/LEARNING GRID OR PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK. CHAPTERXXX A NEEDS

PHILIP, UNIVERSITY OFSYDNEY, AUSTRALIA AS THE NOTION OF LEARNING OBJECTS
HAS GROWN IN POPULARITY, SO TOO HAS INTEREST IN HOW THEY SHOULD BE
STORED TO PROMOTE ACCESS AND REUSABILITY. A KEY CHALLENGE TO ALL
REPOSITORY PROJECTS IS TO UNDERSTAND THE VARIOUS MOTIVATIONS AND NEEDS
TO THOSE WISHING TO CONTRIBUTE TO AND ACCESS THE COLLECTION. TO DATE
THERE HAS BEEN CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION GIVEN TO TECHNICAL ISSUES
OFREPOSITORIES, WITH MUCH LESS CONSIDERATION OFHOW TO ATTEND TO THE
NEEDS OF THOSE WHO WILL USE THEM. THIS CHAPTER PRESENTS A NEEDS ANALYSIS
FRAMEWORK THAT WAS DEVELOPED TO GUIDE THE DESIGN OF A NEW REPOSITORY
CURRENTLY BEING CREATED FOR THE AUSTRALIAN HIGHER EDUCATION SECTOR, THE
CARRICK EXCHANGE. THE PROJECT TO DEVELOP THE FRAMEWORK IS DESCRIBED,
OUTLINING THE FINDINGS FROM ANALYSIS OF LITERATURE AND EXISTING
REPOSITORIES, WITH INPUT FROM A SURVEY OF POTENTIAL USERS. THE PURPOSE
OFTHE FRAMEWORK WAS TO DISTIL KEY ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN
THE DESIGN OF THE REPOSITORY AND WE OFFER IT HERE AS AN ANALYTICAL TOOL
THAT COULD BE APPLIED BY OTHERS. CHAPTER XXXI COSTS AND SUSTAINABILITY
OF LEAMING OBJECT REPOSITORIES , 629 WIL/IAM BRAMB/E, UNIVERSITY O/NEW
MEXICO, USA MARIYA PACHMAN, UNIVERSITY 0/ NEW MEXICO, USA REUSABLE
LEAMING OBJECTS (LOS) CONSTITUTE A PROMISING APPROACH TO THE DEVELOPMENT
OF EASILY ACCESSIBLE, TECHNOLOGICALLY SOUND, AND CURRICULUM ALIGNED
LEAMING RESOURCES. MANY RESEARCH FORUMS AND SCHOL- ARLY ARTICLES HAVE
FOCUSED ON THE REUSABILITY OF LEAMING OBJECTS, METADATA, AND CONTEXT
ISSUES, BUT FEW SOURCES DESCRIBE THE ECONOMIC CHALLENGES INVOLVED IN
IMPLEMENTING AND SUSTAINING AN LO REPOSITORY. WHAT ARE THE COSTS OF
ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING A LO REPOSITORY? SHOULD FUNDING FOR
ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING LO REPOSITORIES COME FROM INSTITUTIONAL
RESOURCES, CONSORTIUM FEES, GRANT MONEY, LO SALES, OR OTHER SOUREES? TO
ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, WE CONSIDER A VARIETY OFLO COST FACTORS. WE LOOK
AT ECONOM IC MODELS USED IN DISTANCE EDUCATION TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN TELL
US ABOUT LO ECONOMIES. WE DISCUSS THE RELATIONSHIP OF FUNDING APPROACHES
AND OPERATIONAL SCOPE (OF A LO SYSTEM) THROUGH CONSIDERING A FUNDING
MATRIX THAT DESCRIBES POSSIBLE FUNDING APPROACHES. WE DISCUSS SEVERAL
EMERGING TRENDS THAT MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THE FUTURE OF LEAMING RESOURCES
FROM AN ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE. LASTLY, WE PROVIDE SEVERAL PRACTICAL
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUNDING LO REPOSITORIES. IN CONCLUSION, WE HIGHLIGHT
DEVELOPMENTAL FAC- TORS FOR LO REPOSITORIES AS THEY RELATE TO THE SCOPE
OF OPERATION AND FUNDING METHODS. SEETION 111 INTEGRATION CHAPTER XXXII

CHAPTER REPORTS THE AUTHORS EXPERIENCES OF DEVELOPING A LEARNING DESIGN
TO TEACH SCIENTIFIC IN- QUIRY, OF INTEGRATING THE LEARNING DESIGN WITH
LEAMING OBJECTS TO CREATE ONLINE INQUIRY PROJECTS, AND OF INVESTIGATING
STUDENT ATTITUDES FOLLOWING IMPLEMENTATION IN SECOND YEAR BIOCHEMISTRY
UNITS AT A MAJOR AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITY. WE DISCUSS CONSTRUCTIVISM,
PROBLEM BASED LEAMING (PBL), AND INQUIRY LEARNING AS THE PHILOSOPHICAL
AND PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES INFORMING THE LEAMING DESIGN, AND HIGHLIGHT
HOW CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF EACH APPROACH WERE TRANSFORMED INTO A LEAMING
DESIGN. WE SPECIFY THE LEAMING DESIGN AND HIGHLIGHT ITS IMPORTANT
FEATURES. THE CLAIMED EFFICIENCIES OFTHE LEARNING OBJECT APPROACH WERE
EVALU- ATED DURING THE DEVELOPMENT PHASE. OUTCOMES REPORTED HERE
INDICATE THAT REUSE WAS MOST COST EFFECTIVE IF MANY, ELABORATE LEAMING
OBJECTS WERE REUSED. LITTLE BENEFIT WAS GAINED BY THE REUSE OF MANY,
SIMPLE LEARNING OBJECTS. FINALLY, STUDENT PERCEPTIONS INDICATE BENEFITS
FROM THE INQUIRY PROJECTS THAT WARRANT THEIR INCLUSION IN A TRADITIONAL
TEACHER-CENTRED COURSE. CHAPTER XXXIII ADAPTING PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING
TO AN ONLINE LEAMING ENVIRONMENT 676 LISA LOBRY DE BRUYN, UNIVERSITY
O/NEW ENG/AND, AUSTRA/IA THIS CHAPTER EXPLORES THROUGH A CASE STUDY
APPROACH OF A TERTIARY-IEVEL UNIT ON LAND ASSESSMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE USE
THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THREE KEY ELEMENTS OF LEAMING-IEARNING OUTCOMES,
LEAMING DESIGN AND LEARNING OBJECTS-IN THE CONTEXT OF PROBLEM BASED
LEAMING CONDUCTED IN AN ONLINE ENVIRONMENT. AT THE HEART OF LEARNING
IS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF LEAMING OUTCOMES GUIDED PEDAGOGICALLY BY THE LEAM-
ING DESIGN ( HEAD ) WITH THE SUPPORT OF WELL-DESIGNED,
PEDAGOGICALLY-SOUND LEARNING OBJECTS ( HANDS ). ALL THE STUDENTS
PARTICIPATING IN THIS CASE STUDY WERE UNDERTAKING THE UNIT AS OFF-CAMPUS
OR DISTANCE STUDENTS, EITHER AT UNDER- OR POST-GRADUATE LEVEL. THIS
CHAPTER DEFINES THE USE OF LEAMING OBJECTS AND LEAMING DESIGN IN A
PROBLEM BASED LEARNING CONTEXT. PRIMARY EVIDENCE IS PRESENTED TO
DEMONSTRATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OFTHE PROBLEM BASED LEAMING DESIGN AND
INTEGRATED LEARNING OBJECTS IN FACILITATING LEAM- ING OUTCOMES WHEN
STUDENTS COMMUNICATED ONLINE ON DISCUSSION BOARDS WITHIN A COURSE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (WEBET) UNDER TWO CIRCUMSTANCES: ONE, AS A COLLECTIVE
GROUP (2001-2003) BEFORE FACE-TO-FACE INSTRUCTION AND PRACTICE IN
PROBLEM BASED LEAMING; AND TWO, IN SMALL GROUPS (2004-2006) AFTER
RECEIVING FACE-TO-FACE INSTRUCTION AND PRACTICE IN PROBLEM BASED
LEARNING. IMPROVED STUDENT PARTICIPATION RATES AND QUANTITY AND QUALITY
OF ONLINE STUDENT INTERACTIONS ON DISCUSSION BOARDS SEEMED TO BE THE
CONSEQUENCE OF EARLY SCAFFOLDING OF STUDENT LEAMING THROUGH FACE-TO-FACE
INSTRUCTION AND PRACTICE IN THE PROBLEM- BASED LEARNING ACTIVITY, AS
WEIL AS WORKING IN SMALL PEER GROUPS FOR SUBSEQUENT DISCUSSION BOARD
ACTIVITY. OVERALL THERE SEEMED TO BE IMPROVED STUDENT COMPREHENSION OF
AND INTERACTION WITH THE LEAMING DESIGN AND LEARNING OBJECTS IN THE
SMALL GROUP EXPERIENCE OFTHE PROBLEM BASED LEAMING ACTIVITY, WH ICH
RESULTED IN A MORE FULFILLING AND ROBUST FORM OF LEAMING. CHAPTER XXXIV

CHAPTER AIMS TO GUIDE THE READERS THROUGH THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF
A PROTOTYPE WEB-BASED LEAMING SYSTEM BASED ON THE INTEGRATION OFLEARNING
OBJECTS WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF GENERATIVE LEAMING TO IMPROVE HIGHER
ORDER THINKING SKILLS. THE CHAPTER DESCRIBED THE IN WHICH THE CONCEPTUAL
MODEL IS CALLED GENERATIVE LEARNING OBJECT ORGANIZER AND THINKING TASKS
(GLOOTT). THE MODEL MAKES USE OFLEAM- ING OBJECTS WH ICH WAS USED TO
DESIGN AND BUILD AIN IMPROVING HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS (HOTS) IN A
PEDAGOGICAL DESIGN OFWEB-BASED LEARNING SYSTEM. THE MODEL ALSO
INCORPORATES MULTI-FACETED LEAMING APPROACHES THAT INCLUDE REUSABLE
LEAMING OBJECTS, GENERATIVE LEAMING, ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF HOTS AND
TECHNOLOGY-SUPPORTED LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER,
THE AUTHORS THEN DESCRIBE HOW THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE WEB-BASED LEAMING
SYSTEM WILL BE DISCUSSED AS WEIL AS EVALUATED AND REFLECTS ON THE
IMPORTANCE OF THE FINDINGS MORE GENERALLY. CHAPTER XXXV APPLYING

MARY BUDD ROWE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN EARLY LEAMING OB- JECT
DATABASES. EXTENSIVE TRAINING WITH K-12 EDUCATORS LEFT TWO LINGERING
ISSUES ABOUT LEAMING OBJECT LIBRARY IMPLEMENTATION: THE QUESTION OF
GRANULARITY, AND THE PERCEPTUAL CHASM BETWEEN DEVELOPERS OF LEAMING
OBJECT LIBRARIES AND THE PRACTITIONERS WHO WILL ULTIMATELY RETRIEVE THE
OBJECTS. AN EXAMINATION OF DR. ROWE S PROJECTS, INCLUDING SCIENCE HELPER
K-8, CULTURE & TECHNOLOGY, AND ENHANCED SCIENCE HELPER PROVIDES INSIGHT
INTO POSSIBLE BARRIERS TO SUCCESS WHEN TEACHERS USE LEAMING OBJECT
IIBRARIES AS A TOOL FOR LESSON PLANNING. AN INTELLIGENT LESSON-PLANNING
TOOL THAT POPULATES A STUDENT-CENTERED LEAMING ENVIRONMENT IS PROPOSED
AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO OVERCOME SUCH BARRIERS. CBAPTER XXXVI
GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPING LEAMING OBJECT REPOSITORIES 744 L. K CURDA,
UNIVERSITY 0/ WEST FLORIDA, USA MELISSA A. KELLY, UNIVERSITY 0/ ILLINOIS
AT CHICAGO, USA WE PRESENT GUIDELINES FOR DESIGNING AND DEVELOPING A
REPOSITORY FOR THE STORAGE AND EXCHANGE OF IN- STRUCTIONAL RESOURCES, AS
WEIL AS CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OFTHE RESOURCES TO BE
INCLUDED IN THE REPOSITORY. WE ELABORATE ON THE CONSTRAINTS THAT DESIGN
TEAMS MAY TYPICALLY FACE AND THE TRADEOFFS THEY MAKE TO ENSURE THAT
USERS UTILIZE THE SYSTEM. TBE GUIDELINES AND DECISION POINTS WE PRESENT
CENTER AROUND COMMON ISSUES DISCUSSED IN THE LEAMING OBJECT LITERATURE
AS PROBLEMATIC AND SALIENT TO THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, AND
IMPLEMENTATION OFLEAMING OBJECTS AND OBJECT REPOSITORIES. THESE THEMES
ARE TERMINOL- OGY, GRANULARITY, REUSABILITY, AND OBJECT SHARING. THE
GUIDELINES WE PRESENT STERN FROM THE CREATION OF ASS ONLINE SHAREABLE
CONTENT SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR FACULTY WITHIN A DEPARTMENT OF EARLY
CHILDHOOD EDUCATION. THE TYPES OF ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS WE ILLUMINATE ARE
APPLICABLE ACROSS VARIED EDUCATIONAL CONTEXTS AND CONTENT AREAS. CBAPTER
XXXVU REUSABILITY OFONLINE ROLE PLAYAS LEAMING OBJECTS OR LEAMING
DESIGNS 761 SANDRA WILLS, UNIVERSITY O/WOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA ANNE
MCDOUGALL, UNIVERSITY 0/ MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA THIS STUDY TRACKS THE
UPTAKE OF ONLINE ROLE PLAY IN AUSTRALIA FROM 1990 TO 2006 AND THE
AFFORDANCES TO ITS UPTAKE. IT EXAMINES REUSABILITY, AS ONE AFFORDANCE TO
UPTAKE, FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OFTWO OFTEN POLAR- IZED CONSTRUCTS:
LEARNING OBJECT AND LEAMING DESIGN. THE STUDY TREATS REUSE IN TWO
WAYS: REUSE OF AN EXISTING ONLINE ROLE PLAY AND REUSE OF AN ONLINE ROLE
PLAYAS THE MODEL FOR ANOTHER ROLE PLAY. TBE FIRST TYPE OF REUSE IMPLIES
THE ONLINE ROLE PLAY IS A LEAMING OBJECT AND THE SECOND TYPE IMPLIES THE
ONLINE ROLE PLAY DERIVES FROM A LEAMING DESIGN. ONLINE ROLE PLAY
CONSISTS OF A SCENARIO AND A SET OF ROLES THAT STUDENTS ADOPT IN ORDER
TO COLLABORATIVELY SOLVE A PROBLEM, CREATE SOMETHING, OR EXPLORE AN
ISSUE VIA EMAIL OR A COMBINATION OF E-MAIL
ANDWEB-BASEDTHREADEDDISCUSSIONFORUM.THIRTY SIX ROLE PLAYS OF THIS TYPE
WERE IDENTIFIED IN AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITIES OF WHICH 80% WERE REUSE OF A
LEARNING DESIGN. ONLY THREE EXAMPLES OFROLE PLAYAS A LEAMING OBJECT WERE
FOUND, SUGGESTING THAT LEARNING DESIGN IS A USEFUL CONCEPT FOR
UNDERSTANDING HOW TO SUPPORT REUSABILITY IN UNIVERSITIES.OTHER
AFFORDANCES TO UPTAKE OFROLE PLAY WERE ALSO TRACKED. THIS INDICATED THAT
THE CONTRIBUTION OF EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPERS FAR OUTWEIGHED THAT OF
ACADEMIC COLLEAGUES, CONFERENCES, JOURNALS AND ENGINES. THE RESULTS HAVE
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE WORK PRACTICES OF EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPERS AND FOR
MANAGERS OF LEAMING OBJECT. CHAPTER XXXVIII AN ANALYSIS OFLEAMING
DESIGNS THAT INTEGRATE PATIENT CASES IN HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION 777
LORI LOCKYER, UNIVERSITY OFWOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA LISA KOSTA, UNIVERSITY
OFWOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA SUE BENNETT, UNIVERSITY OFWOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA
HEALTH PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION IS CHANGING TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF A
IIMITED WORKFORCE AND A FOCUS ON COMMUNITY-BASED C1INICAL TRAINING. THE
CHANGE REQUIRES A FOCUS ON TECHNOLOGY-SUPPORTED LEARNING IN ORDER TO
REACH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS WHO ARE SEPARATED BY SIGNIFICANT DISTANCES.
THE USE OF PATIENT CASES AS REUSABLE LEAMING OBJECTS HAS RECEIVED
CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION IN THE SECTOR AND MANY SUPPORT THE USE OF SUCH
RESOURCES, BUT IN ORDER TO DO SO THE CASES MUST BE MEANINGFULLY
INTEGRATED INTO THE LEAMING EXPERIENCE. THIS CHAPTER REPORTS THE RESULTS
OF AN ANALYTICAL STUDY THAT HAS DEVELOPED EIGHT GENERIC CASE BASED
LEAMING DESIGNS CATEGORISED INTO THREE BROAD APPROACHES SUPPORTED BY
RESEARCH EVIDENCE FROM THE LITERATURE. THESE LEAMING DESIGNS DOCUMENT
COMMON PATTERNS IN CASE BASED LEAMING THAT COULD BE ADAPTED BY TEACHERS
AND DESIGNERS TO THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF DIFFERENT CONTEXTS. IN
C1OSING, THE AUTHORS CONSIDER HOW LEAMING DESIGNS MIGHT BE USED AS A
VEHICLE FOR EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATING PATIENT CASES. CHAPTER XXXIX
RECONCEPTUALISATION OF LEAMING OBJECTS AS META-SCHEMAS 792 MOHAN
CHINNAPPAN, UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA THE SHIFT IN THE WAY WE
VISUALISE THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS AND MATHEMATICS LEARNING HAS
PRESENTED EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGISTS WITH NEW CHALLENGES IN THE DESIGN OF
RICH AND POWERFULLEAMING ENVIRONMENTS. AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND, THE
DESIGN AND USE OF LEAMING OBJECTS IN SUPPORTING MEANINGFUL MATHEMATICAL
LEARNING ASSUMES INCREASED SIGNIFICANCE. I ARGUE THAT LEARNING OBJECTS
NEED TO BE SUFFICIENTLY PLIABLE SUCH THAT BOTH TEACHERS AND LEAMERS
COULD ENGAGE IN KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTION THAT PROVIDES FURTHER AVENUES FOR
GROWTH AND SOPHISTICATION OF MATHEMATICAL SCHEMAS. IN THIS CHAPTER, THE
AUTHOR AIMS TO SHOW THE LIMITATIONS OF CURRENT VIEWS ABOUT
MATHEMATICALLEAMING OBJECTS AND THE NEED TO RECONCEPTUALISE THESE IN
TERMS OF GENERIC META-SCHEMAS. A METASCHEMATIC FRAMEWORK WOULD PROVIDE
THE MATHEMATICS COM- MUNITY WITH POWERFUL PEDAGOGICAL TOOLS TO SUPPORT
AND ASSESS MATHEMATICS LEARNING. TWO EXAMPLES OF THESE META-SCHEMAS FOR
GEOMETRY ARE DESCRIBED. CHAPTERXL DESIGNING LEAMING OBJECTS FOR GENERIC
WEB SITES 808 HENK HUIJSER, UNIVERSITY OFSOUTHERN QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA
THIS CHAPTER PROVIDES AN IN DEPTH DISCUSSION OF THE ISSUES INVOLVED IN
INTEGRATING LEAMING DESIGN AND LEARNING OBJECTS INTO GENERIC WEB SITES.
IT HAS A DUAL FOCUS AND CONSISTS OFTWO PARTS: THE FIRST PART OUTLINES
AND CRITIQUES THE NOTION OFTHE NET GENERATION AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR
LEAMING DESIGN, WHILE THE SECOND PART IS BASED ON A CASE STUDY OF A
GENERIC ACADEMIC LEARNING SUPPORT WEB SITE AND ALLOWS FOR THE TESTING OF
SOME OF THE THEORETICAL ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THE NET GENERATION. INFORMED
BY EMPIRICAL RESEARCH, THIS CHAPTER CONCLUDES BY OFFERING SUGGESTIONS ON
WAYS TO EXPLOIT CONVERGENT POSSIBILITIES OF INTEGRATING LEARNING DESIGN
AND LEARNING OBJECTS IN A WEB ENVIRONMENT, WHILE PAYING CAREFUL
ATTENTION TO DIVERGENT CAPABILITIES OF STUDENTS TARGETED IN SUCH AN
ENVIRONMENT. CHAPTERXLI STANDARDS FOR LEARNING OBJECTS AND LEAMING
DESIGNS 827 MORAG MUNRO, DUBLIN CITY UNIVERSITY, IRE/AND C/AIRE KENNY,
DUBLIN CITY UNIVERSITY, IRE/AND E-IEARNING STANDARDS ARE A CONTENTIOUS
TOPIC AMONGST EDUCATORS, DESIGNERS AND RESEARCHERS ENGAGED IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF LEARNING OBJECTS AND LEARNING DESIGNS. THERE IS
DISAGREEMENT REGARDING THE RELATIVE BENEFITS AND )IMITATIONS OF
STANDARDS, WHILE THE RELEVANCE OF STANDARDS TO SOME EDUCATION AND
TRAINING CONTEXTS HAS BEEN QUESTIONED. IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR DESIGNERS
AND EDUCATORS TO BE SURE THAT THEY NEED TO IMPLEMENT STANDARDS, LET
ALONE TO CHOOSE THE MOST APPROPRIATE ONE FROM THE PIETHORA AVAILABLE.
THIS CHAPTER AIMS TO PROVIDE INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED IN THE DESIGN AND
DEVELOPMENT OF LEARNING OBJECTS AND LEARNING DESIGNS WITH A WIDE-RANGING
CRITICAL OVERVIEW OF E-LEARNING STANDARDS. IT FIRST TRACES THE EVOLU-
TION OF STANDARDS, AND THEN EXAMINES THEIRAPPLICATION IN THE PRESENT
DAY. FINALLY, THE CHAPTER CONSIDERS SOME OF TBE LIMITATIONS AND
CRITICISMS OF CURRENT STANDARDS, AND SUGGESTS SOME POSSIBLE DIRECTIONS
FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. CHAPTER XLII SUPPORTING DECISION MAKING IN USING
DESIGN LANGUAGES FOR LEAMING DESIGNS AND LEARNING OBJECTS 851 EDDY BOOT,
TNO DEFENCE, SECURITY AND SAFETY, THE NETHER/ANDS LUCA BOT/URI,
UNIVERSITA DE//A SVIZZERA ITA/IANAVIA, SWITZER/AND ANDREW S. GIBBONS,

IN DEVELOPING MODEM INSTRUCTIONAL SOFTWARE, LEARNING DESIGNS ARE USED TO
FORMALIZE DESCRIPTIONS OF ROLES, ACTIVITIES, CONSTRAINTS, AND SEVERAL
OTHER INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN ASPECTS AND LEARNING OBJECTS ARE USED TO
IMPLEMENT THOSE LEARNING DESIGNS IN INSTRUCTIONAL SOFTWARE. CENTRAL IN
BOTH CONSTRUCTS IS THE USE OF DESIGN LANGUAGES TO SUPPORT STRUCTURING A
DESIGN TASK AND CONCEIVING SOLUTIONS. DUE TO A LACK OF STAN- DARDIZED
DESIGN LANGUAGES THAT ARE SHARED BETWEEN DESIGNERS, PRODUCERS, AND OTHER
STAKEHOLDERS, THE APPLICATION OFLEARNING DESIGNS AND LEARNING OBJECTS IS
OFTEN UNSATISFACTORY FOR THREE REASONS: (A) DIFFERENT INSTRUCTIONAL AND
TECHNICAL STRUCTURES ARE OFTEN NOT MEANINGFULLY ORGANIZED; (B) DIFFERENT
LEVELS OF DETAIL ARE MIXED TOGETHER; AND (C) DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS ARE
USED IN A NON-STANDARDIZED MANNER. A DECISION MODEL IS INTRODUCED-THE
3D-MODEL-THAT SUPPORTS BETTER SELECTION AND APPLICATION OF DESIGN
LANGUAGES. TWO STUDIES SHOW THAT THE 3D-MODEL CONTRIBUTES TO A BETTER
INFORMATION TRANSITION BETWEEN INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNERS AND SOFTWARE
PRODUCERS. CHAPTER XLIII PRINCIPLED CONSTRUCTION AND REUSE OFLEAMING

ON INSTRUCTIONAL ENGINEERING AND EDUCATIONAL MODELING ACCOMPLISHED SINCE
1992 AT THE LICEF RESEARCH CENTER OFTELE-UNIVERSITE BY THE RESEARCHERS
OFTHE CICE RESEARCH CHAIR. RECENT RESULTS ON LEAMING DESIGN MODELING AND
LEAMING OBJECTS REUSABILITY PROCESSES ARE THOROUGHLY PRESENTED USING
EXAMPLES DRAWN FROM MANY PROJECTS CONDUCTED IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. THESE
ARE DISCUSSED TO UNCOVER THE IMPORTANCE OF A PRINCIPLED APPROACH FOR THE
MODELING OF LEAMING DESIGN AND THE REUSE OF LEAMING OBJECTS IN
TECHNOLOGY ENHANCED LEAMING ENVIRONMENTS. FINALLY, DELIVERY AND
DISSEMINATION ISSUES ARE DISCUSSED AND A SUMMARY OF ON-GOING AND FUTURE
DIRECTIONS FOR RESEARCH IS PRESENTED.

DESIGN REPRESENTATIONS TO DOCUMENT, MODEL, AND SHARE TEACHING PRACTICE 1
SHIR/EY AGOSTINHO, UNIVERSITY 0/ WO//ONGONG, AUSTRA/IA THE TERM "LEAMING
DESIGN" IS GAINING MOMENTUM IN THE E-LEAMING LITERATURE AS A CONCEPT FOR
SUPPORTING ACADEMICS TO MODEL AND SHARE TEACHING PRACTICE. ITS
DEFINITION AND COMPOSITION IS EVOLVING AND AS SUCH THERE IS CURRENTLY NO
STANDARD MODE OF REPRESENTATION FOR LEAMING DESIGNS IN EDUCATION.
INSTEAD THERE ARE SEVERAL EMERGING LEARNING DESIGN REPRESENTATIONS WITH
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES ABOUT THEIR PURPOSE. TBIS CHAPTER EXPLORES THESE
ISSUES AND PRESENTS A SUMMARY OF THE CURRENT DISCOURSE ABOUT LEAMING
DESIGNS. THE AIM OFTHIS CHAPTER IS TO ADDRESS A GAP IN THE LITERATURE BY
COMPARING AND CONTRASTING SIX LEAMING DESIGN REPRESENTATIONS. TBE
CHAPTER DISCUSSES THE RESEARCH CONDUCTED TO DATE ABOUT LEAMING DESIGN
REP- RESENTATIONS AND CONCLUDES BY PROPOSING A PATHWAY FOR FURTHER
RESEARCH. CHAPTERII REPRESENTING MODELS OF PRACTICE 20 ISOBE/ FA/CONER,
G/ASGOW CA/EDONIAN UNIVERSITY, SCOT/AND ALLISON LITT/EJOHN, G/ASGOW
CA/EDONIAN UNIVERSITY, SCOT/AND PRACTICE MODELS ARE GENERIC APPROACHES
TO THE STRUCTURING AND ORCHESTRATION OF LEAMING ACTIVITIES FOR PEDAGOGIC
PURPOSES, INTENDED TO PROMOTE SHARING OF EFFECTIVE E-LEARNING PRACTICE.
TBIS CHAPTER SURVEYS THE BACKGROUND TO THE IDEA OF PRACTICE MODELS, AND
THEN EXAMINES THE ISSUES SURROUNDING THEIR REPRESENTATION THAT EMERGED
FROM THE UK JOINT INFORMATION SYSTEMS COMMITTEE (JISC) FUNDED MOD4L
PROJECT. THESE ISSUES ARE ONES OF PURPOSE, DESIGN AS A PROCESS,
GRANULARITY, COMMUNITY, AND CHARACTERISATION. IT ANALYSES THE PURPOSE
AND THE METAPHOR FOR DESIGN, COUPLED WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE AUDIENCE
FOR PRACTICE MODELS, SUGGESTING THAT WHILE GENERIC MODELS ARE USEFUL FOR
TECHNICAL DEVELOPERS THEY MAY NOT BE AN EFFECTIVE WAY OF SHARING
TEACHING PRACTICE. THE POSSIBILITY THAT A RICH DOMAIN MAP COUPLED WITH
COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES AND RICHLY CONTEXTUALISED EXEMPLARS MIGHT
BE MORE EFFECTIVE IS BRIEFLY DISCUSSED. THE COMPLEX INTERACTIONS OF
CHARACTERISTICS OF A DESIGN REPRESENTATION UNDERPIN THE NECESSITY FOR
DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIONS TO FULFIL DIFFERENT USER NEEDS. CHAPTER IRR
USING THE IMS LD STANDARD TO DESCRIBE LEAMING DESIGNS 41 ROB KOPER, OPEN
UNIVERSITY 0/ THE NETHERLANDS, THE NETHERLANDS YONGWU MIAO, OPEN
UNIVERSITY O/THE NETHERLANDS, THE NETHERLANDS IMS LEAMING DESIGN (IMSLD)
IS AN OPEN STANDARD THAT CAN BE USED TO SPECIFY A WIDE RANGE OF
PEDAGOGI- CAI STRATEGIES IN COMPUTER-INTERPRETABLE MODELS. SUCH MODELS
THEN CAN BE PLAYED IN ANY LD COMPATIBLE EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT TO SUPPORT
TEACHERS AND STUDENTS TO CONDUCT ONLINE TEACHING-LEAMING. THIS CHAPTER
INTRODUCES THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED TO EFFECTIVELY USE LD. FIRST OF
A11,WE PRESENT FUNDAMENTAL PRIN- CIPLES BEHIND LD. THEN, WE INTRODUCE
MAIN CONCEPTS AND THEIR RELATIONS IN LD AND DISCUSS SOME TECHNICAL
ISSUES ABOUT HOW TO MAKE A LEAMING DESIGN EXECUTABLE IN A COMPUTER-BASED
ENVIRONMENT. FINALLY, HOW TO MODELLEAMING DESIGNS USING LD IS EXPLAINED
THROUGH DEMONSTRATING THE WHOLE PROCEDURE TO MODEL A USE CASE IN
EXTENSIBLE MARKUP LANGUAGE (XML). WE EXPECT THAT THE READERS OFTHIS
CHAPTER CAN APPLY LD TO CREATE SIMPLE LEAMING DESIGNS AND UNDERSTAND
LEAMING DESIGNS WITH SOPHISTICATED FEATURES. CHAPTERIV OPPORTUNITIES,
ACHIEVEMENTS, AND PROSPECTS FOR USE OFLMS LD 87 DAVID GRIFFITHS, THE
UNIVERSITY 0/ BOLTON, UK OLEG LIBER, THE UNIVERSITY 0/ BOLTON, UK THE
IMS LD SPECIFICATION IS
INTEMA11YCOMPLEXANDHASBEENUSEDINANUMBEROFDIFFERENTWAYS.AS A RESULT,
USERS WHO HAVE ABASIE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROLE OF THE SPECIFICATION IN
INTEROPERABILITY MAY NEVERTHELESS FIND IT DIFFICULT TO GET AN OVERVIEW
OF THE POTENTIAL OF THE SPECIFICATION, OR TO ASSESS WHAT HAS BEEN
ACHIEVED THROUGH ITS USE. THIS CHAPTER SEEKS TO MAKE THE TASK SIMPLER BY
ARTICULATING THE MODES OF USE OF THE SPECIFICATION, AND ANALYSING THE
WORK CARRIED OUT IN EACH. THE IMS LD SPECIFICATION IS BRIEFLY
INTRODUCED. FOUR ASPECTS OFTHE IMS LEAMING DESIGN SPECIFICATION ARE
IDENTIFIED AND DESCRIBED: MODELLING LANGUAGE, INTEROPERABILITY
SPECIFICATION, MODELLING AND METHODOLOGY, AND INFRASTRUCTURE. THE
DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES PROVIDED BY EACH MODE OF USE ARE EXPLORED AND
THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF WORK SO FAR CARRIED OUT ARE ASSESSED. A NUMBER OF
VALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS ARE IDENTIFIED, BUT THE PRACTICAL AND WIDESPREAD
USE OF THE SPECIFICATION TO EXCHANGE LEAMING ACTIVITIES HAS NOT SO FAR
BEEN ACHIEVED. THE CHANGING TECHNOLOGICAL AND ORGANISATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
IN WHICH IMS LD OPERATES IS DISCUSSED, AND ITS IMPLICATIONS EXPLORED.
CONCLUSIONS ARE OFFERED WHICH SUMMARISE ACHIEVEMENTS WITH IMS LD TO
DATE, WITH COMMENTS ON PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE. CHAPTERV A CRITICAL
PERSPECTIVE ON DESIGN PATTERNS FOR E-LEARNING 113 FRANCA GARZOTTO,
POLITECNICO DI MILANO, ITALY SYMEON RETALIS, UNIVERSITY OF PIRAEUS,
GREECE A DESIGN PATTERN DESCRIBES A PROBLEM WHICH OCCURS OVER AND OVER
AGAIN IN OUR ENVIRONMENT, AND THEN DESCRIBES THE CORE OF THE SOLUTION TO
THAT PROBLEM, IN SUCH A WAY THAT YOU CAN USE THIS SOLUTION A MILLION
TIMES OVER, WITHOUT EVER DOING IT THE SAME WAY TWICE" (ALEXANDER ET AL.,
1977). IN THE FIELD OF E-LEARNING, DESIGN PATTERNS ARE FREQUENTLY
ADVOCATED AS A POWERFUL WAY OF PROVIDING STRUCTURED, TEACHER-FRIENDLY,
TEXTUAL REPRESENTATIONS OF LEARNING DESIGNS, OR OF EXPRESSING THE DESIGN
RATIONALE UNDERLYING LEARNING . OBJECTS. THE PURPOSE OFTHIS CHAPTER IS
TO LOOK AT E-IEAMING DESIGN PATTERNS FROM A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE. WE
PROVIDE A HISTORICAL, MULTIDISCIPLINARY EXCURSUS OF THE NOTION OF DESIGN
PATTERNS. WE PROPOSE A TAXONOMY OF E-IEAMING DESIGN PATTERNS, PROVIDING
EXAMPLES IN THE VARIOUS CATEGORIES. FINALLY, WE DISCUSS BOTH THE
BENEFITS OF DESIGN PATTERNS FOR E-LEARNING PROFESSIONALS (PARTICULARLY,
NOVICE ONES) AND THEIR DRAWBACKS, AND INVESTIGATE HOW SUCH PROS AND CONS
MAY AFFECT THE ROLE OF PATTERNS FOR LEARNING DESIGNS. CHAPTERVI USING
DESIGN PATTERNS TO SUPPORT E-LEARNING DESIGN 144 SHERRI S. FRIZELL,
PRAIRIE VIEW A&M UNIVERSITY, USA ROLAND HUEBSCHER, BENTLEY COLLEGE, USA
DESIGN PATTERNS HAVE RECEIVED CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION FOR THEIR POTENTIAL
AS A MEANS OF CAPTURING AND . SHARING DESIGN KNOWLEDGE. THIS CHAPTER
PROVIDES A REVIEW OF DESIGN PATTERN RESEARCH AND USAGE WITHIN EDUCATION
AND OTHER DISCIPLINES, SUMMARIZES THE REPORTED BENEFITS OF THE APPROACH,
AND EXAMINES DE- SIGN PATTERNS IN RELATION TO OTHER APPROACHES TO
SUPPORTING DESIGN. BUILDING UPON THIS WORK, IT ARGUES THAT DESIGN
PATTERNS CAN CAPTURE LEARNING DESIGN KNOWLEDGE FROM THEORIES AND BEST
PRACTICES TO SUPPORT NOVICES IN EFFECTIVE E-IEARNING DESIGN. THIS
CHAPTER DESCRIBES THE AUTHORS' WORK ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF DESIGNS
PATTERNS FOR E-IEAMING. IT CONCLUDES WITH A DISCUSSION OF FUTURE
RESEARCH FOR EDUCATIONAL USES OF DESIGN PATTERNS. CHAPTERVN PATTERNS AND
PATTERN LANGUAGES IN EDUCATIONAL DESIGN 167 PETER GOODYEAR, UNIVERSITY
OFSYDNEY, AUSTRALIA DAI FEI YANG, UNIVERSITYOFSYDNEY, AUSTRALIA THIS
CHAPTER PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF RECENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D)
ACTIVITY IN THE AREA OF EDUCATIONAL DESIGN PATTERNS AND PATTERN
LANGUAGES. IT PROVIDES A CONTEXT FOR EVALUATING THIS LINE OFR&D BY
SKETCHING AN ACCOUNT OF THE PRACTICE OF EDUCATIONAL DESIGN, HIGHLIGHTING
SOME OF ITS DIFFICULTIES AND THE WAYS IN WHICH DESIGN PATTERNS AND OTHER
AIDS TO DESIGN MIGHT PLAYA ROLE. IT FOREGROUNDS A TENSION BETWEEN
OPTIMISING DESIGN PERFORMANCE AND SUPPORTING THE EVOLUTION OF DESIGN
EXPERTISE. THE CHAPTER PROVIDES EXAMPLES OFRECENT RESEARCH BY THE
AUTHORS ON DESIGN PATTERNS FORNETWORKED LEARNING, AS WEIL AS POINTERS TO
COMPLEMENTARY RESEARCH BY OTHERS. CONNECTIONS ARE MADE WITH R&D WORK ON
LEAMING DESIGN AND OTHER APPROACHES TO SUPPORTING DESIGN ACTIVITY.
CHAPTER VIII THE ROLE OF MEDIATING ARTEFACTS IN LEARNING DESIGN 188
GRAINNE CONOLE, THE OPEN UNIVERSITY, UK THE CHAPTER PROVIDES A
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK FOR UNDERSTANDING LEARNING ACTIVITIES: CENTERING
ON TWO KEY ASPECTS: (I) THE CAPTURE AND REPRESENTATION OF ACTIVITIES AND
(2) MECHANISMS FOR SCAFFOLDING THE DESIGN PROCESS, WHICH IS INTRODUCED
HERE AS A FONNAL METHODOLOGY FOR LEARNING DESIGN. THE CHAPTER BEGINS BY
DESCRIBING HOW INFONNATION CAN BE ABSTRACTED FROM LEARNING ACTIVITIES
VIA A RANGE OF DIFFERENT FONNS OF REPRESENTATION (MODELS, ICONIC
DIAGRAMS, TEXTUAL CASE STUDIES, ETC.), WHICH ARE DEFINED HERE AS
"MEDIATING ARTEFACTS." LT DISCUSSES HOW DIFFERENT MEDIATING ARTEFACTS
CAN BE USED TO INFONN THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING A NEW LEARNING ACTIVITY.
LT AUGMENTS AND PROVIDES AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE THEORETICAL ARGUMENTS
DEVELOPED IN THE CHAPTER BY SUMMARIZING SOME OF THE FINDINGS FROM
RELEVANT RESEARCH ON LEARNING DESIGN AND USES THE DIALOGPLUS TOOLKIT AS
A CASE STUDY AND AN EXAMPLE OF A MEDIATING ARTEFACT THAT CAN BE USED TO
SUPPORT THE DESIGN OF A LEARNING ACTIVITY. THE TOOLKIT INCLUDES EXAMPLES
OF LEARNING ACTIVITIES (I.E., REPRESENTA- TIONS OF ACTIVITIES AS OUTLINE
IN I) AS WEIL AS GUIDELINES AND SUPPORT (LE., MECHANISMS FOR SCAFFOLDING
THE DESIGN PROCESS AS OUTLINED IN 2). THE CHAPTER ARGUES THAT THIS
APPROACH TO LEARNING DESIGN, WHICH CENTRES ON THE CONCEPT OF MEDIATING
ARTEFACTS, AND THEIR ROLE IN THE DESIGN PROCESS, CAN BE USED AS A
DESCRIPTIVE FRAMEWORK FOR DESCRIBING THE DYNAMICS, PROCESSES, AND
DIFFERENT ASPECTS INVOLVED IN LEARNING DESIGN. CHAPTERIX ACTIVITY THEORY
AND THE DESIGN OFPEDAGOGIC PLANNING TOOLS 209 ELIZABETH MASTERMAN,
UNIVERSITY 0/ OXFORD, UK THIS CHAPTER USES ACTIVITY THEORY TO CONSTRUCT
A FRAMEWORK FOR THE DESIGN AND DEPLOYMENT OF PEDAGOGIC PLANNING TOOLS.
IT STARTS BY NOTING THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY ON TEACHERS'
PRACTICE, PARTICULARLY THE ROLE OF PLANNING IN THE CREATION OF EFFECTIVE
TECHNOLOGY-MEDIATED LEARNING. LT ESPOUSES THE RECONCEPTUAL- IZATION OF
PLANNING AS DESIGN FOR LEARNING AND IDENTIFIES A KEY ROLE FOR THE
EMERGENT GENRE OF PEDAGOGIC PLANNING TOOLS IN STIMULATING PRACTITIONERS'
ENGAGEMENT IN THIS RECONCEPTUALIZED PRACTICE. DRAWING ON ACTIVITY
THEORY, THE CHAPTER THEN CHARACTERIZES THE PRINCIPAL ELEMENTS AND
RELATIONSHIPS IN DESIGN FOR LEARNING. FROM THE INSIGHTS GAINED, IT
ANALYZES RESEARCH DATA FROM TWO PROJECTS TO PINPOINT THE ENABLING
FACTORS AND TENSIONS IN CURRENT PRACTICE THAT MIGHT BE CONDUCIVE TO (OR,
CONVERSELY, IMPEDE) THE EFFECTIVE DESIGN AND DEPLOYMENT OF PEDAGOGIC
PLANNING TOOLS. IT THEN SYNTHESIZES THESE INTO A FRAMEWORK IN WHICH
SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS AND POLICY-MAKERS CAN EXPLORE THEIR OWN CONTEXTS FOR
IMPLEMENTING SUCH TOOLS. CHAPTERX DEVELOPING A TAXONOMY FOR LEARNING
DESIGNS 228 BARRY HARPER, UNIVERSITY O/WOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA RON OLIVER,
EDITH COWAN UNIVERSITY, AUSTRALIA THIS CHAPTER DESCRIBES THE DEVELOPMENT
OF A TAXONOMY OF LEARNING DESIGNS BASED ON A SURVEY OF 52 IN- NOVATIVE
ICT-USING PROJECTS THAT FORMED THE BASIS OF A GROUNDED APPROACH TO
CLASSIFYING HIGH QUALITY LEARNING DESIGNS. THE CONCEPT OF LEARNING
DESIGNS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SUPPORT ACADEMICS IN THE PROCESS OF
OFFERING HIGH QUALITY ICT SUPPORTED LEAMING SETTINGS IN THE HIGHER
EDUCATION SECTOR. THE TAXONOMY IS PROPOSED AS A MECHANISM TO EXPLORE
WAYS IN WHICH LEARNING DESIGNS CAN BE MADE ACCESSIBLE TO ACADEMICS AND
TO HELP WITH THE UNDERSTANDING OFTHE GOALS OFTHE LEARNING DESIGN
MOVEMENT. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TAXONOMY IS DESCRIBED AND USER REVIEW
OF THE REPRESENTATION OF LEARNING DESIGNS IN A WEB CONTEXT IS DISCUSSED.
FINALLY, THE CURRENT GAP IN THE LITERATURE ABOUT ACCURATE AND EFFECTIVE
TAXONOMIES DESCRIBING AND DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN VARIOUS FORMS OF
LEARNING DESIGN IS DISCUSSED IN RELATION TO FUTURE RESEARCH AGENDAS.
CHAPTERXI USING EXPERT REVIEWS TO ENHANCE LEARNING DESIGNS 243 CARMEL
MENAUGHT, THE CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG, HONG KONG PAUL LAM, THE
CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG, HONG KONG KIN-FAI CHENG, THE CHINESE
UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG, HONG KONG THE CHAPTER WILL DESCRIBE AN EXPERT
REVIEW PROCESS USED AT THE CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG. THE
MECHANISM USED INVOLVES A CAREFULLY DEVELOPED EVALUATION MATRIX WHICH IS
USED WITH INDIVIDUAL TEACHERS. THIS MATRIX RECORDS: (I) THE WEB
FUNCTIONS, AND THEIR USE AS E-IEARNING STRATEGIES, IN THE COURSE WEB
SITE; (2) HOW COMPLETELY THESE FUNCTIONS ARE UTILIZED; AND (3) THE
LEARNING DESIGN IMPLIED BY THE WAY THE FUNCTIONS SELECTED ARE USED, BY
THE COURSE DOCUMENTATION, AND GAUGED FROM CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
TEACHER. A STUDY OF 20 COURSE WEB SITES IN THE ACADEMIC YEARS 2005-06
AND 2006-07 SHOWS THAT THE MECHANISM IS PRACTICAL, BENEFICIAL TO
INDIVIDUAL TEACHERS, AND PROVIDES DATA OF RELEVANCE TO INSTITUTIONAL
PLANNING FOR E-IEARNING. CHAPTERXII LNVESTIGATING PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS
AS LEARNING DESIGN AUTHORS 263 MATTHEW KEARNEY, UNIVERSITY OFTEEHNOLOGY,
SYDNEY (UTS), AUSTRALIA ANNE PRESEOTT, UNIVERSITY OFTEEHNOLOGY, SYDNEY
(UTS), AUSTRALIA KIRSTY YOUNG, UNIVERSITY OFTEEHNOLOGY, SYDNEY (UTS),
AUSTRALIA THIS CHAPTER REPORTS ON FINDINGS FROM ARECENT PROJECT SITUATED
IN THE AREA OF PRESERVICE TEACHER EDUCA- TION. THE PROJECT INVESTIGATED
PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS AUTHORING AND USING THEIR OWN CONTEXTUALISED LEARN-
ING DESIGNS. THE CHAPTER DESCRIBES HOW SEVENTEEN SECONDARY AND PRIMARY
PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS ADAPTED EXISTING, WELL-RESEARCHED LEARNING
STRATEGIES TO INFORM THE DESIGN OF THEIR OWN SPECIFIC ONIINE LEARNING
TASKS AND HOW THEY IMPLEMENTED THESE TASKS IN THE CONTEXT OF THEIR
TEACHING PRACTICUM. THE PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS USED AN ONLINE LEARNING
DESIGN AUTHORING SYSTEM AS A TOOL AND FLEXIBLE "TEST-BED" FOR THEIR
LEARN- ING DESIGNS AND IMPLEMENTATION. AN ACCOUNT OF THE WAYS IN WHICH
THE PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS DEVELOPED SOPHISTICATED UNDERSTANDINGS OF THEIR
CHOSEN LEARNING STRATEGY AND DEVELOPED FRESH INSIGHTS INTO ONLINE AND
FACE-TO-FACE TEACHING ISSUES IS PRESENTED. CHAPTER XIII USING IMS
LEARNING DESIGN IN EDUCATIONAL SITUATIONS 282 PAUL HAZLEWOOD, LIVERPOOL
HOPE UNIVERSITY, UK AMANDA ODDIE, LIVERPOOL HOPE UNIVERSITY, UK MARK
BARRETT-BAXENDALE, LIVERPOOL HOPE UNIVERSITY, UK IMS LEAMING DESIGN (IMS
LD) IS A SPECIFICATION FOR DESCRIBING A RANGE OF PEDAGOGIC APPROACHES.
IT ALLOWS THE LINKING OF PEDAGOGICAL STRUCTURE, CONTENT AND SERVICES,
WHILST KEEPING THE THREE SEPARATE, THUS PROVIDING THE POTENTIAL FOR
RE-USE AS WEIL AS FORMING THE BASIS FOR INTEROPERABILITY BETWEEN LEAM-
ING ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES. AS SUCH, THIS SPECIFICATION PROMISES
UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD EFFECTIVE TUTOR SUPPORT AND
PRESENCE INTO E-LEARNING SYSTEMS. THE TOOLS THAT IMPLEMENT THE
SPECIFICATION HAVE PRIMARILY BEEN USED FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES AND HAVE
NOT BEEN TARGETED AT TEACHING PRACTITIONERS OR LEAMERS WORKING IN
TE~CHING AND LEAMING SITUATIONS. THERE IS A PERCEPTION AMONGST
PRACTITIONERS AND TOOL DEVELOPERS THAT THE SPECIFICATION AND TOOLS ARE
TOO TECHNICALOR DIFFICULT FOR PRACTITIONER USE. THIS CHAPTER EXAMINES
PRACTITIONER USE OF CURRENT TOOLS FOR CREATING IMS LD AND THE USE OFIMS
LD UNITS OF LEAMING (UOLS) WITH LEAMERS THROUGH PROJECTS BEING
UNDERTAKEN AT LIVERPOOL HOPE UNIVERSITY (LHU). IT PRESENTS SOME OF THE
EXPERIENCES AND FINDINGS GAINED FROM THESE PROJECTS. THE CHAPTER ALSO
EXAMINES CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES AND TOOLS FOR CREATING AND RUNNING IMS LD
UOLS, AND FINALLY DISCUSSES THE POTENTIAL AND FUTURE FOR IMS LD.
CHAPTERXIV ONLINE ROLE-BASED LEAMING DESIGNS FOR TEACHING COMPLEX
DECISION MAKING 295 ROBERT MELAUGHLAN, UNIVERSITY OFTEEHNOLOGY, SYDNEY,
AUSTRALIA DENISE KIRKPATRIEK, THE OPEN UNIVERSITY, UK DECISION-MAKING
PROCESSES IN RELATION TO COMPLEX NATURAL RESOURCE REQUIRE RECOGNITION
AND ACCOMMODA- TION OF DIVERSE AND COMPETING PERSPECTIVES IN ADECISION
CONTEXT THAT IS FREQUENTLY ILL DEFINED AND FRAUGHT WITH VALUE
JUDGEMENTS. ONLINE ENVIRONMENTS CAN BE USED TO DEVELOP STUDENTS' SKILLS
AND UNDERSTAND- ING OF THESE ISSUES. THE FOCUS OF THIS CHAPTER IS THE
LEAMING DESIGN OF AN ONLINE ROLEPLAY-SIMULATION (MEKONG E-SIM) WHICH WAS
CREATED TO DEVELOP LEAMING EXPERIENCES ABOUT THESE TYPES OF ISSUES
ACROSS MULTIPLE INSTITUTIONS WITH STUDENTS FROM THE DISCIPLINES OF
ENGINEERING AND THE HUMANITIES. THE KEY STAGES OF INTERACTION WITHIN THE
E-SIM ARE DESCRIBED AND LINKED TO STUDENT TASKS, RESOURCES AND SUPPORTS.
THE EVOLUTION AND ADAPTATION OF THE LEAMING DESIGN USED IN THE MEKONG
E-SIM HAS BEEN DESCRIBED. EIGHT KEY CHALLENGES IN THE DESIGN AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF ONLINE ROLEPLAY-SIMULATIONS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED. IN
THIS CHAPTER WE HAVE TRIED TO ADDRESS A GAP IN THE ONLINE ROLE-BASED
COLLABORATIVE LEAMING LITERATURE ABOUT THE DESIGN OF THESE ACTIVITIES,
LINKAGES BETWEEN PEDAGOGY AND INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
AND HOW TO EXPLOIT THESE LINKAGES FOR EFFECTIVE LEAMING. CHAPTERXV
FACILITATING LEAMER-GENERATED ANIMATIONS WITH SLOWMATION 312 GARRY
HOBAN, UNIVERSITY OFWOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA DIGITAL ANIMATIONS ARE COMPLEX
TO CREATE AND ARE USUALLY MADE BY EXPERTS FOR NOVICES TO DOWN LOAD FROM
WEB SITES OR COPY FROM DVDS AND CDS TO USE AS LEAMING OBJECTS. A NEW
TEACHING APPROACH, "SLOWMA- TION" (ABBREVIATED FROM "SLOW MOTION
ANIMATION"), SIMPLIFIES THE COMPLEX PROCESS OF MAKING ANIMA- TIONS SO
THAT LEAMERS CAN CREATE THEIR OWN COMPREHENSIVE ANIMATIONS OF SCIENCE
CONCEPTS. THIS CHAPTER PRESENTS THE LEAMING DESIGN THAT UNDERPINS THIS
NEW TEACHING APPROACH TO FACILITATE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR CREATING
ANIMATIONS TO BE SHIFTED FROM EXPERTS TO LEAMERS. THE LEAMING DESIGN HAS
FOUR PHASES WH ICH GUIDES INSTRUCTORS AND LEAMERS IN CREATING ANIMATIONS
OF SCIENCE CONCEPTS: (L) PLANNING; (2) ANALYSIS; (3) CONSTRUCTION; AND
(4) RECONSTRUCTION. THIS LEAMING DESIGN WILL BE ILLUSTRATED WITH TWO
EXAMPLES CREATED BY PRESERVICE PRIMARY TEACHERS IN SCIENCE EDUCATION AS
WEIL AS PROVIDING A DISCUSSION ABOUT POSSIBLE FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR
FURTHER RESEARCH. CHAPTERXVI REPRESENTATION OF COORDINATION MECHANISMS
IN LMS LD 330 YONGWU MIAO, OPEN UNIVERSITY 0/ THE NETHERLANDS, THE
NETHERLANDS DANIEL BURGOS, OPEN UNIVERSITY O/THE NETHERLANDS, THE
NETHERLANDS DAVID GRIFFITHS, THE UNIVERSITY 0/ BOLTON, UK ROB KOPER,
OPEN UNIVERSITY O/THE NETHERLANDS, THE NETHERLANDS GROUP INTERACTION HAS
TO BE METICULOUSLY DESIGNED TO FOSTER EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT
COLLABORATIVE LEAM- ING. THE IMS LEARNING DESIGN SPECIFICATION (IMS LD)
CAN BE USED TO CREATE A FORMAL REPRESENTATION OF GROUP INTERACTION AND
THE MODEL CAN THEN BE USED TO SCAFFOLD GROUP INTERACTION BY MEANS OF
COORDINA- TION SUPPORT AT RUN-TIME. IN THIS CHAPTER, WE INVESTIGATE THE
EXPRESSIVENESS OF IMS LD IN REPRESENTING COORDINATION MECHANISMS BY
USING COORDINATION THEORY AS AN ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK. WE HAVE FOUND THAT
IMS LD CAN REPRESENT ALMOST ALL THE BASIC COORDINATION MECHANISMS. WE
HAVE ALSO IDENTIFIED SOME HURDLES TO BE OVERCOME IN REPRESENTING CERTAIN
COORDINATION MECHANISMS. ACCORDING TO COORDINATION THEORY, COMMON
COORDINATION MECHANISMS CAN BE REUSED IN DIFFERENT SETTINGS. WE BRIEFLY
EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF REPRESENTING COORDINATION MECHANISMS AT A
HIGH-LEVEL OF ABSTRACTION, WH ICH WILL BE EASIER FOR INSTRUCTION
DESIGNERS AND TEACHERS TO UNDERSTAND AND USE. CHAPTER XVII MODELING
LEAMING UNITS BY CAPTURING CONTEXT WITH IMS LD 352 JOHANNES STROBEL,
PURDUE UNIVERSITY, USA GRETCHEN LOWERISON, CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY, CANADA
ROGER COTE, CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY, CANADA PHI/IP C. ABRAMI, CSLP,
CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY, CANADA EDWARD C. BETHEL, CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY,
CANADA IN THIS CHAPTER, WE DESCRIBE THE PROCESS OF MODELING DIFFERENT
THEORY-BASED, RESEARCH-BASED, AND BEST- PRACTICE-BASED LEAMING DESIGNS
INTO IMS-LD, A STANDARDIZED MODELING LANGUAGE. WE REFLECT ON THE
CONCEPTUAL AND PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES THAT ARISE WHEN MODELING WITH
IMS-LD, ESPECIALLY THE QUESTION OF GRANULARITY AND THE NECESSARY AND
SUFFICIENT ELEMENTS OFLEAMING DESIGN. WE PROPOSE A FOUR-LAYER MODEL BOTH
TO ENSURE THE QUALITY OFTHE MODELING PROCESS AND AS A NECESSARY STEP
TOWARDS A "HOLISTIC" CONSIDER- ATION AND INTEGRATION OF THE DESIGN
PROCESS. THESE DISCUSSIONS SPEAK TO THE CORE OF IMS-LD INTEGRATION,
ADDRESS THE QUESTION OFUSABILITY AND END-USER FRIENDLINESS AND URGE THAT
MORE RESEARCH AND DESIGN NEEDS TO BE CONDUCTED NOT ONLY TO MAINSTREAM
(A) THE ~SE OF IMS-LD AND RELATED VISUAL INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN LANGUAGES,
BUT ALSO (B) THE DEBATE ON APPROPRIATE AND BEST INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN
PRACTICES. CHAPTER XVIII DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR COLLABORATION AND
PARTICIPATION WITH EXAMPLES FROM THE LN4LD (LEARNING NETWORK FOR
LEARNING DESIGN) 373 DANIEL BURGOS, OPEN UNIVERSITY OFTHE NETHERLANDS,
THE NETHERLANDS HANS G. K. HUMMEL, OPEN UNIVERSITY OFTHE NETHERLANDS,
THE NETHERLANDS COLIN TATTERSALL, OPEN UNIVERSITY OFTHE NETHERLANDS, THE
NETHERLANDS FRANCIS BROUNS, OPEN UNIVERSITY OFTHE NETHERLANDS, THE
NETHERLANDS ROH KOPER, OPEN UNIVERSITY OFTHE NETHERLANDS, THE
NETHERLANDS THIS CHAPTER PRESENTS SOME DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR
COLLABORATION AND PARTICIPATION IN BLENDED LEARNING NETWORKS. AS
EXEMPLARY NETWORK WE DESCRIBE LN4LD (LEARNING NETWORK FOR LEARNING
DESIGN), WHICH WAS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE LEARNING AND DISCUSSION ABOUT
IMS-LEARNING DESIGN. "LESSONS LEARNED" FROM PILOT IMPLEMENTATIONS OFTHIS
NETWORK OVER APERIOD OF 5 YEARS ARE PHRASED AS GUIDELINES FOR FUTURE
LEARNING NETWORK IMPLEMENTATIONS. THE CHAPTER FOCUSES ON THE POSITIVE
INFLUENCE OF INCENTIVE MECHANISMS AND FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS ON ACTIVE
PARTICIPATION. THESE SUCCESSFUL INTERVENTIONS ARE EXPLAINED FROM
THEORIES ABOUT SELF-ORGANIZATION, SOCIAL EXCHANGE, AND SOCIAL
AFFORDANCES. REPEATED MEASUREMENTS SHOW THE LEVELS OFBOTH PASSIVE
(ACCESSING AND READING INFORMATION) AND ACTIVE PARTICIPATION (POSTING,
REPLYING AND RATING) TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE AS A RESULT OFBOTH
INTERVENTIONS. BOTH THE USE OF INCENTIVE MECHANISMS AND FACE- TO-FACE
MEETINGS CAN THEREFORE BE CONSIDERED AS VALUABLE ELEMENTS FOR FUTURE
MODELS FOR COLLABORATION IN LEARNING NETWORKS, AND FOR ESTABLISHING AN
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY OF"LEARNING DESIGNERS." SEETION 11 LEARNING
OBJECTS CHAPTERXIX THE DESIGN OFLEARNING OBJECTS FOR PEDAGOGICAL
IMPACT. 391 TOM BOYLE, LONDON METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY, UK THIS CHAPTER
ARGUES THAT GOOD DESIGN HAS TO BE AT THE HEART OF DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE
LEARNING OBJECTS. LT BRIEFLY OUTLINES THE "KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING"
APPROACH TO LEARNING OBJECTS BASED ON METADATA AND PACK- AGING. THE
KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING APPROACH, HOWEVER, IGNORES THE ISSUE OFHOW TO
DESIGN AND DEVELOP PEDAGOGICALLY EFFECTIVE LEARNING OBJECTS. THE
CHAPTERCONCENTRATES ON THE CENTRAL ISSUE OFTHE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF
LEARNING OBJECTS. THE FIRST PART OF THE CHAPTER OUTLINES AND ILLUSTRATES
KEY DESIGN PRIN- CIPLES. THE MIDDLE PART OFTHE CHAPTER EXAMINES HOW
THESE CAN BE EMBEDDED IN AN "AGILE" DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY FOR
DEVELOPING LEARNING OBJECTS. THE FOLLOWING SECTION SHOWS HOW EFFECTIVE
DESIGNS CAN BE CAPTURED AND MADE AVAILABLE IN A TOOL TO SUPPORT THE
AUTHORING AND REPURPOSING OF LEARNING OBJECTS. FINALLY, THE CHAPTER
EXAMINES THE WIDER PICTURE LINKING LEARNING OBJECTS AND LEARNING DESIGNS
AND POINTS TO THE CHALLENGE OF"LAYERED LEARNING DESIGN." CHAPTERXX
VISUAL MEANING MANAGEMENT FOR NETWORKED LEAMING 408 MARGARET TURNER,
UNIVERSITY OLTHE SUNSHINE COAST, AUSTRALIA THIS CHAPTER INTRODUCES AN
APPROACH TO WRITING CONTENT FOR ONLINE LEAMING OVER NETWORKED MEDIA. IT
ARGUES THAT FEW RESOURCES CURRENTLY UTILISE THE FLUID AND MULTI-VOICED
CAPACITY OFTHE INTEMET'S NETWORKED NODAL STRUCTURE TO PROVIDE MULTIPLE
PATHWAYS THROUGH CONTENT, OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AND
REFLECTION OR COLJABORATION WITH PEERS IN KNOWLEDGE BUILDING. "LEAMING
OBJECTS" ARE ONE WAY TO CONCEPTUALISE CONTENT IDEAS AND LEAMING
ACTIVITIES WITHIN THIS FLEXIBLE ENVIRONMENT. TO EFFECTIVELY USE THIS
RESOURCE REQUIRES SOMETHING QUITE DIFFERENT TO TRADITIONAJ SEQUENTIAL
WRITING. A MORE APPROPRIATE APPROACH IS TO USE NONLINEAR SOFTWARE THAT
CAN MAP THE NODES OFTHE KNOWLEDGE DOMAIN AND MAKE VISIBLE THE INTERNAL
RELATIONSHIPS, CONNECTIONS AND PATHS OF MEANING. THE PURPOSE OF THIS
CHAPTER IS TO PROVIDE THE READER WITH A GUIDE TO DEVELOPING A BETTER
UNDERSTANDING OF HOW MEANING IS MANAGED VISUALLY, AND PROPOSES TOOLS AND
STRATEGIES FOR A NEW STRUCTURE OF WRITING FOR NETWORKED MEDIA.
CHAPTERXXI MODIFICATION OFLEAMING OBJECTS FOR NESB STUDENTS 428
CHRISTINA GITSAKI, THE UNIVERSITY OLQUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA DUE TO THE
INCREASINGLY DIVERSE STUDENT POPULATION IN MULTICULTURAL NATIONS SUCH AS
AUSTRALIA, THE V.S., CANADA, AND THE UK, EDUCATORS ARE FACED WITH THE
CHALLENGE OF HOW TO BEST MEET THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS WITH LIMITED ENGLISH
PROFICIENCY WITHOUT "WATERING-DOWN" THE CURRICULUM. THE USE OF
EDUCATIONAL DIGITAL RESOURCES IS ONE WAY OF ENHANCING NON-ENGLISH
SPEAKING BACKGROUND (NESB) STUDENTS' ACADEMIC SKILLS AND UNDERSTANDINGS,
BUT WITHOUT EXPLICIT ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL) SUPPORT
INTEGRATED INTO THESE RESOURCES THE BENEFITS FOR NESB STUDENTS ARE
LIMITED. THIS CHAPTER DOCUMENTS A STUDY OFTHE CONTENT AND FORMAT OF A
NUMBER OF LEAMING OBJECTS DESIGNED BY THE LE@AMING FEDERATION IN AN
ATTEMPT TO EXPLORE HOW SPECIFIC LEAMING OBJECTS CAN BE MODIFIED TO
ADDRESS THE LANGUAGE NEEDS OFNESB STUDENTS AND UNLOCK THE VALUE OFTHEIR
CONTENT. DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR ESL ADAPTATION OF DIGITALLEAMING CONTENT
ARE PROVIDED BASED ON CURRENT RESEARCH AND SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
(SLA) PRINCIPLES. CHAPTER XXII LEAMING OBJECTS, LEAMING TASKS, AND
HANDHELDS 451 DANIEL CHURCHILL, THE UNIVERSITY 01 HONG KONG, HONG KONG
JOHN GORDON HEDBERG, MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY, AUSTRALIA THE MAIN IDEA
BEHIND LEAMING OBJECTS IS THAT THEY ARE TO EXIST AS DIGITAL RESOURCES
SEPARATED FROM THE LEAMING TASK IN WHICH IT IS USED.THIS ALLOWS A
LEAMING OBJECT TO BE REUSED WITH DIFFERENT LEAMING TASKS. HOWEVER, NOT
ALLIEARNING OBJECTS OPERATE IN SIMILAR WAYS, NEITHER ARE ALLIEARNING
TASKS THE SAME, AND THIS EXPOSES THE PROBLEM THAT CURRENT
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM LITERATURE FAH TO LINK LEARNING OBJECTS AND THEIR
REUSE IN VARIED LEAMING TASKS. IN THIS CHAPTER, WE EXPLORE DEFINITIONS
OF LEAMING OBJECTS AND LEAMING TASKS. WE ALSO SUGGEST THAT APPROPRIATE
MATCHES WOULD LEAD TO MORE EFFECTIVE PEDAGOGICAL APPLICATIONS THAT CAN
BE USED AS SET OF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DESIGNERS OF LEARNING OBJECTS AND
TEACHERS WHO PLAN LEARNING TASKS AND SELECT LEARNING OBJECTS FOR STUDENT
LEAMING ACTIVITIES. IN ADDITION, WE DISCUSS APPLICA- TIONS OF LEARNING
OBJECTS DELIVERED BY EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES WH ICH MAY CHANGE HOW DIGITAL
RESOURCES ARE ACCESSED AND USED BY STUDENTS IN AND OUT OF CLASSROOMS.
CHAPTER XXIII TECHNOLOGY, CURRICULUM, AND PEDAGOGY IN THE EVALUATION OF
AN ONLINE CONTENT PROGRAM IN AUSTRALASIA 470 PETER FREEBODY, THE
UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA SANDY MUSPRATT, GRIJJITH UNIVERSITY,
AUSTRALIA DAVID MERAE, EDUEATIONAL CONSULTANT, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA THE
QUESTION ADDRESSED IN THIS CHAPTER IS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE FOR THE
EFFECTS OF ONLINE PROGRAMS OF LEAMING OBJECTS (HENCEFORTH LOS) ON
MOTIVATION AND LEAMING? MUCH OFTHE RESEARCH AVAILABLE ON ICTS GENERALLY
YIELDS SHORT-TERM OR AMBIGUOUS FINDINGS, WITH RECOMMENDATIONS. THAT
CENTRE ON THE NEED FOR MORE ATTENTION TO THEORIZING AND DOCUMENTING: *
HOW ICTS CAN BE LOCATED WITHIN SEQUENCES OF CURRICULAR LEAMING; * THE
KINDS OFLEAMING THAT NEW ICTS OFFER (FACTUAL, CONCEPTUAL, APPLICATION,
AND TRANSFER); AND * THE WAYS IN WHICH EXISTING PEDAGOGIES AND USES
OFICTS BOTH ADAPT TO AND TRANSFORM ONE ANOTHER. THIS CHAPTER AIMS TO
ADVANCE DISCUSSION OF THESE ISSUES BY SUMMARIZING ONGOING EVALUATIONS OF
A LARGE-SCALE NATIONAL PROGRAM OF ONLINE LOS ACROSS KEY CURRICULUM
AREAS, DRAWING ON SURVEY AND INTERVIEW DATA AND A FIELD EXPERIMENT IN
WHICH THE EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO LOS ON LEAMING OUTCOMES IN MATHEMATICS
ARE DOCUMENTED. CHAPTER XXIV EFFECTIVE USE OFLEAMING OBJECTS IN CLASS
ENVIRONMENTS. 493 DAVID LAKE, JAMES COOK UNIVERSITY, AUSTRALIA KATE
LOWE, MURDOEH UNIVERSITY, AUSTRALIA ROB PHILLIPS, MURDOEH UNIVERSITY,
AUSTRALIA RIEK CUMMINGS, MURDOEH UNIVERSITY, AUSTRALIA RENATO SCHIBEEI,
MURDOEH UNIVERSITY, AUSTRALIA THIS CHAPTER PROVIDES A MODEL TO ANALYSE
THE EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY OF LEAMING OBJECTS BEING USED IN
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS BY CONSIDERING THEIR PLACE WITHIN THAT
EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT, PAYING PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE MANNER IN
WHICH THEY, LIKE ANY RESOURCE, CAN AID OR OCCLUDE PRODUCTIVE
INTERAETIONS BETWEEN TEAEHERS AND STUDENTS. IT DRAWS FROM A STUDY OF
AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND SEHOOLS THAT PILOTED THE FIRST RELEASE OF
LEAMING OBJEETS FROM THE LE@MING FEDERATION. THE EHAPTER EONSIDERS THE
PLACE OFLEAMING OBJEETS WITHIN THE OVERALL SYSTEMIE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT,
AND IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, EXAMINES THE INDIVIDUAL CLASSROOM AS THE
EOMBINATION OFTENSIONS BETWEEN THE TEAEHER'S NEEDS, THE STU- DENTS'
NEEDS, AND THE POTENTIAL AVAILABLE WITHIN THE EXISTING INFRASTRUETURE.
WITHIN THIS FRAMEWORK, THE EHAPTER DISEUSSES THE WAYS IN WHIEH THESE
THREE COMPONENTS INTERAET DURING TEAEHER SELECTION OFLEAMING OBJECTS,
STUDENTS' AECESSION OFLEAMING OBJEETS IN THE CLASSROOM, AND THE USE
OFTHE LEAMING OBJECTS BY STUDENTS. IT EONELUDES BY SUGGESTING HOW
STUDENTS' EONSTRUETION OFKNOWLEDGE EAN BE ENHANEED THROUGH MERGING THE
CAPABILITIES OFTHE RESOUREE WITH THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS AND TEAEHERS.

DIGITALLEARNING MATERIALS, LEAMING OBJECTS (LOS), RELATE TO THEIR USE IN
UNI- VERSITIES. FEW EMPIRICAL STUDIES EXIST TO EXPLORE THE IMPACT OFLOS
ON PEDAGOGY, ESPECIALLY IN SCHOOLS. THIS CHAPTER PROVIDES EVIDENCE FROM
AN EVALUATION OF THE USE OF LOS IN SCHOOLS. THE EVIDENCE IS FROM AN
EU-FUNDED PROJECT CONTEXT E-LEARNING WITH BROADBAND TECHNOLOGIES,
INVOLVING 500 SCHOOLS IN SIX COUNTRIES ACROSS EUROPE, TO EXAMINE THE
IMPACT OF LOS ON PEDAGOGY. IT BROUGHT TOGETHER PRODUCERS AND USERS TO
TRY OUT TECHNICALLY AND PEDAGOGICALLY SOUND WAYS OF PRODUCING, MAKING
AVAILABLE THROUGH A PORTAL, AND USING LOS. THIS CHAPTER REPORTS DATA
FROM BOTH QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE STUDIES CONDUCTED DURING 2004,
INCLUDING: ONLINE SURVEYS (OF ALL THE TEACHERS INVOLVED), ROUTINE DATA
FROM THE PORTAL, SEMI- STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS IN 40 SCHOOLS IN ALL SIX
COUNTRIES, EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES IN ONE OF THESE COUNTRIES AND 13
C1ASSROOM CASE STUDIES IN FOUR OF THEM. CHAPTER XXVI INSTRUCTIONAL
EFFECTIVENESS OF LEARNING OBJECTS 532 TOMI JAAKKOLA, UNIVERSITY OLTURKU,
FINLAND SAMI NURMI, UNIVERSITY 01 TURKU, FINLAND THERE HAS BEEN A CLEAR
LACK OFRIGOROUS EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OFLEARNING
OBJECTS (LOS) IN EDUCATION. THIS CHAPTER REPORTS THE RESULTS OFFOUR
EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES THAT INVESTIGATED THE EFFECTIVE- NESS OF
DRILL-AND-PRACTICE AND SIMULATION-TYPE LOS INCOMPARISON TO MORE
TRADITIONAL TEACHING METHODS. RESULTS SUGGEST THAT A SIMULATION LO THAT
WORKS AS A TOOL TO SUPPORT STUDENTS' EXPLORATION PROCESS CAN BE
ESPECIALLY HELPFUL TO STUDENTS' INQUIRY LEAMING,BUT DRILL-AND-PRACTICE
LOS ARE LESS EFFECTIVE THAN TRADITIONAL TEACHING METHODS IN PROCEDURAL
LEARNING. FINDINGS ALSO STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT WE SHOULD NOT SEE LOS AND
TRADITIONAL METHODS AS RIVALS BUT AS BEING COMPLEMENTARY TO ONE ANOTHER.
THE AUTHORS HOPE THAT THE RESULTS CAN INFORM TEACHERS, ;NSTRUCTIONAL
DESIGNERS, AND CONTENT PRODUCERS AS TO WHAT ASPECTS THEY SHOULD CONSIDER
WHEN DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING LOS IN DIFFERENT EDUCATIONAL CONTEXTS.
CHAPTER XXVSS EVALUATING LARGE-SCALE EUROPEAN LO PRODUCTION,
DISTRIBUTION, AND USE 553 ROBERT MCCORMICK, THE OPEN UNIVERSITY, UK THIS
CHAPTER WILL EXAMINE THE APPROACH TAKEN IN THE EVALUATION OF A
LARGE-SCALE FEASIBILITY TRIAL OF THE PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, AND USE
OF LEAMING OBJECTS (LOS). THIS WAS CARRIED OUT BY PARTNERS IN SEVERAL
COUNTRIES OF EUROPE AS PART OF THE CONTEXT E-LEARNING WITH BROADBAND
TECHNOLOGIES (CELEBRATE) PROJECT, COORDINATED BY EUROPEAN SCHOOLNET. THE
PROJECT PRODUCED A LARGE NUMBER OFLOS AND INVOLVED LINKING UP COMMERCIAL
AND MINISTRY PRODUCERS OF LOS TO MAKE AVAILABLE THEIR PRODUCTS TO
TEACHERS IN SIX COUNTRIES. THE CHAPTER EXAMINES WHAT IT MEANS TO
EVALUATE LEARNING OBJECTS, GIVEN THAT THEY ARE BOTH PARTICULAR OBJECTS
AND A GENERAL IDEA, ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT GIVEN THE DEARTH OF EMPIRICAL
STUDIES OFTHE USE OF LOS. IT THEN GOES ON TO EXPLORE THE WAY THIS WAS
TACKLED STRATEGICALLY AND TACTICALLY, HEARING IN MIND A EUROPEAN CONTEXT
OF DISTRIBUTED LOCATIONS, DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AND EDUCATION SYSTEMS.
CHAPTER XXVSSI COLLABORATIVE ARGUMENTATION IN LEARNING RESOURCE
EVALUATION 574 JOHN C. NESBIT, SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY, CANADA TRACEY L.
LEACOCK, SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY, CANADA LEARNING OBJECT REVIEW
INSTRUMENT (LORI) IS AN EVALUATION FRAMEWORK DESIGNED TO SUPPORT
COLLABORATIVE CRITIQUE OFMULTIMEDIA LEARNING RESOURCES. IN THIS CHAPTER,
THE INTERACTIONS AMONG REVIEWERS USING LORI ARE FRAMED AS A FORM OF
COLLABORATIVE ARGUMENTATION. RESEARCH ON COLLABORATIVE EVALUATION OF
LEARNING RESOURCES HAS FOUND THAT REVIEWERS' QUALITY RATINGS TEND TO
CONVERGE AS A RESULT OFTHEIR INTERACTIONS. ALSO, NOVICE INSTRUCTIONAL
DESIGNERS HAVE REPORTED THAT COLLABORATIVE EVALUATION IS VALUABLE
PREPARATION FOR UNDERTAKING RESOURCE DESIGN PROJECTS. THE AUTHORS REASON
THAT COLLABORATIVE EVALUATION IS EFFECTIVE AS A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
METHOD TO THE DEGREE THAT IT SUSTAINS ARGUMENTATION ABOUT THE
APPLICATION OF EVIDENCE-BASED DESIGN PRINCIPLES. CBAPTER XXIX FOR THE
ULTIMATE ACCESSIBILITY AND REUSABILITY 589 PHILIPPE MARTIN, GRIFFITH
UNIVERSITY, AUSTRALIA MICHEL EBOUEYA, UNIVERSITY OF LA ROCHELLE, FRANCE
THIS CHAPTER FIRST ARGUES THAT CURRENT APPROACHES FOR SHARING AND
RETRIEVING LEARNING OBJECTS OR ANY OTHER KINDS OF INFORMATION ARE NOT
EFFICIENT OR SCALABLE, ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE ALMOST ALL OF THESE
APPROACHES ARE BASED ON THE MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC INDEXATION OR MERGE OF
INDEPENDENTLY CREATED FORMAL OR INFORMAL RESOURCES. IT THEN SHOWS THAT
TIGHTLY INTERCONNECTED COLLABORATIVELY UPDATED FORMAL OR SEMIFORMALLARGE
KNOWLEDGE BASES (SEMANTIC NETWORKS) CAN, SHOULD, AND PROBABLY WILL, BE
USED AS A SHARED MEDIUM FOR THE TASKS OF RESEARCHING, PUBLISHING,
TEACHING, LEARNING, EVALUATING, OR COLLABORATING, AND THUS EASE OR
COMPLEMENT TRADITIONAL METHODS SUCH AS FACE-TO- FACE TEACHING AND
DOCUMENT PUBLISHING. TO TEST AND SUP- PORT THESE CLAIMS THE AUTHORS HAVE
IMPLEMENTED THEIR IDEAS INTO A KNOWLEDGE SERVER NAMED WEBKB-2 AND BEGUN
REPRESENTING THEIR RESEARCH DOMAIN AND SEVERAL COURSES AT THEIR
UNIVERSITIES. THE SAME UNDERLYING TECHNIQUES COULD BE APPLIED TO A
SEMANTIC/LEARNING GRID OR PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK. CHAPTERXXX A NEEDS

PHILIP, UNIVERSITY OFSYDNEY, AUSTRALIA AS THE NOTION OF LEARNING OBJECTS
HAS GROWN IN POPULARITY, SO TOO HAS INTEREST IN HOW THEY SHOULD BE
STORED TO PROMOTE ACCESS AND REUSABILITY. A KEY CHALLENGE TO ALL
REPOSITORY PROJECTS IS TO UNDERSTAND THE VARIOUS MOTIVATIONS AND NEEDS
TO THOSE WISHING TO CONTRIBUTE TO AND ACCESS THE COLLECTION. TO DATE
THERE HAS BEEN CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION GIVEN TO TECHNICAL ISSUES
OFREPOSITORIES, WITH MUCH LESS CONSIDERATION OFHOW TO ATTEND TO THE
NEEDS OF THOSE WHO WILL USE THEM. THIS CHAPTER PRESENTS A NEEDS ANALYSIS
FRAMEWORK THAT WAS DEVELOPED TO GUIDE THE DESIGN OF A NEW REPOSITORY
CURRENTLY BEING CREATED FOR THE AUSTRALIAN HIGHER EDUCATION SECTOR, THE
CARRICK EXCHANGE. THE PROJECT TO DEVELOP THE FRAMEWORK IS DESCRIBED,
OUTLINING THE FINDINGS FROM ANALYSIS OF LITERATURE AND EXISTING
REPOSITORIES, WITH INPUT FROM A SURVEY OF POTENTIAL USERS. THE PURPOSE
OFTHE FRAMEWORK WAS TO DISTIL KEY ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN
THE DESIGN OF THE REPOSITORY AND WE OFFER IT HERE AS AN ANALYTICAL TOOL
THAT COULD BE APPLIED BY OTHERS. CHAPTER XXXI COSTS AND SUSTAINABILITY

LEAMING OBJECTS (LOS) CONSTITUTE A PROMISING APPROACH TO THE DEVELOPMENT
OF EASILY ACCESSIBLE, TECHNOLOGICALLY SOUND, AND CURRICULUM ALIGNED
LEAMING RESOURCES. MANY RESEARCH FORUMS AND SCHOL- ARLY ARTICLES HAVE
FOCUSED ON THE REUSABILITY OF LEAMING OBJECTS, METADATA, AND CONTEXT
ISSUES, BUT FEW SOURCES DESCRIBE THE ECONOMIC CHALLENGES INVOLVED IN
IMPLEMENTING AND SUSTAINING AN LO REPOSITORY. WHAT ARE THE COSTS OF
ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING A LO REPOSITORY? SHOULD FUNDING FOR
ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING LO REPOSITORIES COME FROM INSTITUTIONAL
RESOURCES, CONSORTIUM FEES, GRANT MONEY, LO SALES, OR OTHER SOUREES? TO
ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, WE CONSIDER A VARIETY OFLO COST FACTORS. WE LOOK
AT ECONOM IC MODELS USED IN DISTANCE EDUCATION TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN TELL
US ABOUT LO ECONOMIES. WE DISCUSS THE RELATIONSHIP OF FUNDING APPROACHES
AND OPERATIONAL SCOPE (OF A LO SYSTEM) THROUGH CONSIDERING A FUNDING
MATRIX THAT DESCRIBES POSSIBLE FUNDING APPROACHES. WE DISCUSS SEVERAL
EMERGING TRENDS THAT MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THE FUTURE OF LEAMING RESOURCES
FROM AN ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE. LASTLY, WE PROVIDE SEVERAL PRACTICAL
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUNDING LO REPOSITORIES. IN CONCLUSION, WE HIGHLIGHT
DEVELOPMENTAL FAC- TORS FOR LO REPOSITORIES AS THEY RELATE TO THE SCOPE
OF OPERATION AND FUNDING METHODS. SEETION 111 INTEGRATION CHAPTER XXXII
A LEAMING DESIGN TO TEACH SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY 652 KRISTINE ELLIOTT, THE
UNIVERSITY 0/ ME/BOUME, AUSTRA/IA KEVIN SWEENEY, THE UNIVERSITY 0/
ME/BOUME, AUSTRA/IA HE/EN IRVING, MONASH UNIVERSITY, AUSTRA/IA THIS
CHAPTER REPORTS THE AUTHORS' EXPERIENCES OF DEVELOPING A LEARNING DESIGN
TO TEACH SCIENTIFIC IN- QUIRY, OF INTEGRATING THE LEARNING DESIGN WITH
LEAMING OBJECTS TO CREATE ONLINE INQUIRY PROJECTS, AND OF INVESTIGATING
STUDENT ATTITUDES FOLLOWING IMPLEMENTATION IN SECOND YEAR BIOCHEMISTRY
UNITS AT A MAJOR AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITY. WE DISCUSS CONSTRUCTIVISM,
PROBLEM BASED LEAMING (PBL), AND INQUIRY LEARNING AS THE PHILOSOPHICAL
AND PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES INFORMING THE LEAMING DESIGN, AND HIGHLIGHT
HOW CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF EACH APPROACH WERE TRANSFORMED INTO A LEAMING
DESIGN. WE SPECIFY THE LEAMING DESIGN AND HIGHLIGHT ITS IMPORTANT
FEATURES. THE CLAIMED EFFICIENCIES OFTHE LEARNING OBJECT APPROACH WERE
EVALU- ATED DURING THE DEVELOPMENT PHASE. OUTCOMES REPORTED HERE
INDICATE THAT REUSE WAS MOST COST EFFECTIVE IF MANY, ELABORATE LEAMING
OBJECTS WERE REUSED. LITTLE BENEFIT WAS GAINED BY THE REUSE OF MANY,
SIMPLE LEARNING OBJECTS. FINALLY, STUDENT PERCEPTIONS INDICATE BENEFITS
FROM THE INQUIRY PROJECTS THAT WARRANT THEIR INCLUSION IN A TRADITIONAL
TEACHER-CENTRED COURSE. CHAPTER XXXIII ADAPTING PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING
TO AN ONLINE LEAMING ENVIRONMENT 676 LISA LOBRY DE BRUYN, UNIVERSITY
O/NEW ENG/AND, AUSTRA/IA THIS CHAPTER EXPLORES THROUGH A CASE STUDY
APPROACH OF A TERTIARY-IEVEL UNIT ON LAND ASSESSMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE USE
THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THREE KEY ELEMENTS OF LEAMING-IEARNING OUTCOMES,
LEAMING DESIGN AND LEARNING OBJECTS-IN THE CONTEXT OF PROBLEM BASED
LEAMING CONDUCTED IN AN ONLINE ENVIRONMENT. AT THE "HEART" OF LEARNING
IS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF LEAMING OUTCOMES GUIDED PEDAGOGICALLY BY THE LEAM-
ING DESIGN ("HEAD") WITH THE SUPPORT OF WELL-DESIGNED,
PEDAGOGICALLY-SOUND LEARNING OBJECTS ("HANDS"). ALL THE STUDENTS
PARTICIPATING IN THIS CASE STUDY WERE UNDERTAKING THE UNIT AS OFF-CAMPUS
OR "DISTANCE" STUDENTS, EITHER AT UNDER- OR POST-GRADUATE LEVEL. THIS
CHAPTER DEFINES THE USE OF LEAMING OBJECTS AND LEAMING DESIGN IN A
PROBLEM BASED LEARNING CONTEXT. PRIMARY EVIDENCE IS PRESENTED TO
DEMONSTRATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OFTHE PROBLEM BASED LEAMING DESIGN AND
INTEGRATED LEARNING OBJECTS IN FACILITATING LEAM- ING OUTCOMES WHEN
STUDENTS COMMUNICATED ONLINE ON DISCUSSION BOARDS WITHIN A COURSE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (WEBET) UNDER TWO CIRCUMSTANCES: ONE, AS A COLLECTIVE
GROUP (2001-2003) BEFORE FACE-TO-FACE INSTRUCTION AND PRACTICE IN
PROBLEM BASED LEAMING; AND TWO, IN SMALL GROUPS (2004-2006) AFTER
RECEIVING FACE-TO-FACE INSTRUCTION AND PRACTICE IN PROBLEM BASED
LEARNING. IMPROVED STUDENT PARTICIPATION RATES AND QUANTITY AND QUALITY
OF ONLINE STUDENT INTERACTIONS ON DISCUSSION BOARDS SEEMED TO BE THE
CONSEQUENCE OF EARLY SCAFFOLDING OF STUDENT LEAMING THROUGH FACE-TO-FACE
INSTRUCTION AND PRACTICE IN THE PROBLEM- BASED LEARNING ACTIVITY, AS
WEIL AS WORKING IN SMALL PEER GROUPS FOR SUBSEQUENT DISCUSSION BOARD
ACTIVITY. OVERALL THERE SEEMED TO BE IMPROVED STUDENT COMPREHENSION OF
AND INTERACTION WITH THE LEAMING DESIGN AND LEARNING OBJECTS IN THE
SMALL GROUP EXPERIENCE OFTHE PROBLEM BASED LEAMING ACTIVITY, WH ICH
RESULTED IN A MORE FULFILLING AND ROBUST FORM OF LEAMING. CHAPTER XXXIV

CHAPTER AIMS TO GUIDE THE READERS THROUGH THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF
A PROTOTYPE WEB-BASED LEAMING SYSTEM BASED ON THE INTEGRATION OFLEARNING
OBJECTS WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF GENERATIVE LEAMING TO IMPROVE HIGHER
ORDER THINKING SKILLS. THE CHAPTER DESCRIBED THE IN WHICH THE CONCEPTUAL
MODEL IS CALLED GENERATIVE LEARNING OBJECT ORGANIZER AND THINKING TASKS
(GLOOTT). THE MODEL MAKES USE OFLEAM- ING OBJECTS WH ICH WAS USED TO
DESIGN AND BUILD AIN IMPROVING HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS (HOTS) IN A
PEDAGOGICAL DESIGN OFWEB-BASED LEARNING SYSTEM. THE MODEL ALSO
INCORPORATES MULTI-FACETED LEAMING APPROACHES THAT INCLUDE REUSABLE
LEAMING OBJECTS, GENERATIVE LEAMING, ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF HOTS AND
TECHNOLOGY-SUPPORTED LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER,
THE AUTHORS THEN DESCRIBE HOW THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE WEB-BASED LEAMING
SYSTEM WILL BE DISCUSSED AS WEIL AS EVALUATED AND REFLECTS ON THE
IMPORTANCE OF THE FINDINGS MORE GENERALLY. CHAPTER XXXV APPLYING

ISSUES ABOUT LEAMING OBJECT LIBRARY IMPLEMENTATION: THE QUESTION OF
GRANULARITY, AND THE PERCEPTUAL CHASM BETWEEN DEVELOPERS OF LEAMING
OBJECT LIBRARIES AND THE PRACTITIONERS WHO WILL ULTIMATELY RETRIEVE THE
OBJECTS. AN EXAMINATION OF DR. ROWE'S PROJECTS, INCLUDING SCIENCE HELPER
K-8, CULTURE & TECHNOLOGY, AND ENHANCED SCIENCE HELPER PROVIDES INSIGHT
INTO POSSIBLE BARRIERS TO SUCCESS WHEN TEACHERS USE LEAMING OBJECT
IIBRARIES AS A TOOL FOR LESSON PLANNING. AN INTELLIGENT LESSON-PLANNING
TOOL THAT POPULATES A STUDENT-CENTERED LEAMING ENVIRONMENT IS PROPOSED
AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO OVERCOME SUCH BARRIERS. CBAPTER XXXVI
GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPING LEAMING OBJECT REPOSITORIES 744 L. K CURDA,

WEIL AS CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OFTHE RESOURCES TO BE
INCLUDED IN THE REPOSITORY. WE ELABORATE ON THE CONSTRAINTS THAT DESIGN
TEAMS MAY TYPICALLY FACE AND THE TRADEOFFS THEY MAKE TO ENSURE THAT
USERS UTILIZE THE SYSTEM. TBE GUIDELINES AND DECISION POINTS WE PRESENT
CENTER AROUND COMMON ISSUES DISCUSSED IN THE LEAMING OBJECT LITERATURE
AS PROBLEMATIC AND SALIENT TO THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, AND
IMPLEMENTATION OFLEAMING OBJECTS AND OBJECT REPOSITORIES. THESE THEMES
ARE TERMINOL- OGY, GRANULARITY, REUSABILITY, AND OBJECT SHARING. THE
GUIDELINES WE PRESENT STERN FROM THE CREATION OF ASS ONLINE SHAREABLE

XXXVU REUSABILITY OFONLINE ROLE PLAYAS LEAMING OBJECTS OR LEAMING
DESIGNS 761 SANDRA WILLS, UNIVERSITY O/WOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA ANNE
MCDOUGALL, UNIVERSITY 0/ MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA THIS STUDY TRACKS THE
UPTAKE OF ONLINE ROLE PLAY IN AUSTRALIA FROM 1990 TO 2006 AND THE
AFFORDANCES TO ITS UPTAKE. IT EXAMINES REUSABILITY, AS ONE AFFORDANCE TO
UPTAKE, FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OFTWO OFTEN POLAR- IZED CONSTRUCTS:
LEARNING OBJECT AND LEAMING DESIGN. THE STUDY TREATS "REUSE" IN TWO
WAYS: REUSE OF AN EXISTING ONLINE ROLE PLAY AND REUSE OF AN ONLINE ROLE
PLAYAS THE MODEL FOR ANOTHER ROLE PLAY. TBE FIRST TYPE OF REUSE IMPLIES
THE ONLINE ROLE PLAY IS A LEAMING OBJECT AND THE SECOND TYPE IMPLIES THE
ONLINE ROLE PLAY DERIVES FROM A LEAMING DESIGN. ONLINE ROLE PLAY
CONSISTS OF A SCENARIO AND A SET OF ROLES THAT STUDENTS ADOPT IN ORDER
TO COLLABORATIVELY SOLVE A PROBLEM, CREATE SOMETHING, OR EXPLORE AN
ISSUE VIA EMAIL OR A COMBINATION OF E-MAIL
ANDWEB-BASEDTHREADEDDISCUSSIONFORUM.THIRTY SIX ROLE PLAYS OF THIS TYPE
WERE IDENTIFIED IN AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITIES OF WHICH 80% WERE REUSE OF A
LEARNING DESIGN. ONLY THREE EXAMPLES OFROLE PLAYAS A LEAMING OBJECT WERE
FOUND, SUGGESTING THAT LEARNING DESIGN IS A USEFUL CONCEPT FOR
UNDERSTANDING HOW TO SUPPORT REUSABILITY IN UNIVERSITIES.OTHER
AFFORDANCES TO UPTAKE OFROLE PLAY WERE ALSO TRACKED. THIS INDICATED THAT
THE CONTRIBUTION OF EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPERS FAR OUTWEIGHED THAT OF
ACADEMIC COLLEAGUES, CONFERENCES, JOURNALS AND ENGINES. THE RESULTS HAVE
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE WORK PRACTICES OF EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPERS AND FOR
MANAGERS OF LEAMING OBJECT. CHAPTER XXXVIII AN ANALYSIS OFLEAMING
DESIGNS THAT INTEGRATE PATIENT CASES IN HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION 777
LORI LOCKYER, UNIVERSITY OFWOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA LISA KOSTA, UNIVERSITY
OFWOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA SUE BENNETT, UNIVERSITY OFWOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA
HEALTH PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION IS CHANGING TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF A
IIMITED WORKFORCE AND A FOCUS ON COMMUNITY-BASED C1INICAL TRAINING. THE
CHANGE REQUIRES A FOCUS ON TECHNOLOGY-SUPPORTED LEARNING IN ORDER TO
REACH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS WHO ARE SEPARATED BY SIGNIFICANT DISTANCES.
THE USE OF PATIENT CASES AS REUSABLE LEAMING OBJECTS HAS RECEIVED
CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION IN THE SECTOR AND MANY SUPPORT THE USE OF SUCH
RESOURCES, BUT IN ORDER TO DO SO THE CASES MUST BE MEANINGFULLY
INTEGRATED INTO THE LEAMING EXPERIENCE. THIS CHAPTER REPORTS THE RESULTS
OF AN ANALYTICAL STUDY THAT HAS DEVELOPED EIGHT GENERIC CASE BASED
LEAMING DESIGNS CATEGORISED INTO THREE BROAD APPROACHES SUPPORTED BY
RESEARCH EVIDENCE FROM THE LITERATURE. THESE LEAMING DESIGNS DOCUMENT
COMMON PATTERNS IN CASE BASED LEAMING THAT COULD BE ADAPTED BY TEACHERS
AND DESIGNERS TO THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF DIFFERENT CONTEXTS. IN
C1OSING, THE AUTHORS CONSIDER HOW LEAMING DESIGNS MIGHT BE USED AS A
VEHICLE FOR EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATING PATIENT CASES. CHAPTER XXXIX
RECONCEPTUALISATION OF LEAMING OBJECTS AS META-SCHEMAS 792 MOHAN
CHINNAPPAN, UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA THE SHIFT IN THE WAY WE
VISUALISE THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS AND MATHEMATICS LEARNING HAS
PRESENTED EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGISTS WITH NEW CHALLENGES IN THE DESIGN OF
RICH AND POWERFULLEAMING ENVIRONMENTS. AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND, THE
DESIGN AND USE OF LEAMING OBJECTS IN SUPPORTING MEANINGFUL MATHEMATICAL
LEARNING ASSUMES INCREASED SIGNIFICANCE. I ARGUE THAT LEARNING OBJECTS
NEED TO BE SUFFICIENTLY PLIABLE SUCH THAT BOTH TEACHERS AND LEAMERS
COULD ENGAGE IN KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTION THAT PROVIDES FURTHER AVENUES FOR
GROWTH AND SOPHISTICATION OF MATHEMATICAL SCHEMAS. IN THIS CHAPTER, THE
AUTHOR AIMS TO SHOW THE LIMITATIONS OF CURRENT VIEWS ABOUT
MATHEMATICALLEAMING OBJECTS AND THE NEED TO RECONCEPTUALISE THESE IN
TERMS OF GENERIC META-SCHEMAS. A METASCHEMATIC FRAMEWORK WOULD PROVIDE
THE MATHEMATICS COM- MUNITY WITH POWERFUL PEDAGOGICAL TOOLS TO SUPPORT
AND ASSESS MATHEMATICS LEARNING. TWO EXAMPLES OF THESE META-SCHEMAS FOR
GEOMETRY ARE DESCRIBED. CHAPTERXL DESIGNING LEAMING OBJECTS FOR GENERIC
WEB SITES 808 HENK HUIJSER, UNIVERSITY OFSOUTHERN QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA
THIS CHAPTER PROVIDES AN IN DEPTH DISCUSSION OF THE ISSUES INVOLVED IN
INTEGRATING LEAMING DESIGN AND LEARNING OBJECTS INTO GENERIC WEB SITES.
IT HAS A DUAL FOCUS AND CONSISTS OFTWO PARTS: THE FIRST PART OUTLINES
AND CRITIQUES THE NOTION OFTHE NET GENERATION AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR
LEAMING DESIGN, WHILE THE SECOND PART IS BASED ON A CASE STUDY OF A
GENERIC ACADEMIC LEARNING SUPPORT WEB SITE AND ALLOWS FOR THE TESTING OF
SOME OF THE THEORETICAL ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THE NET GENERATION. INFORMED
BY EMPIRICAL RESEARCH, THIS CHAPTER CONCLUDES BY OFFERING SUGGESTIONS ON
WAYS TO EXPLOIT CONVERGENT POSSIBILITIES OF INTEGRATING LEARNING DESIGN
AND LEARNING OBJECTS IN A WEB ENVIRONMENT, WHILE PAYING CAREFUL
ATTENTION TO DIVERGENT CAPABILITIES OF STUDENTS TARGETED IN SUCH AN
ENVIRONMENT. CHAPTERXLI STANDARDS FOR LEARNING OBJECTS AND LEAMING
DESIGNS 827 MORAG MUNRO, DUBLIN CITY UNIVERSITY, IRE/AND C/AIRE KENNY,
DUBLIN CITY UNIVERSITY, IRE/AND E-IEARNING STANDARDS ARE A CONTENTIOUS
TOPIC AMONGST EDUCATORS, DESIGNERS AND RESEARCHERS ENGAGED IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF LEARNING OBJECTS AND LEARNING DESIGNS. THERE IS
DISAGREEMENT REGARDING THE RELATIVE BENEFITS AND )IMITATIONS OF
STANDARDS, WHILE THE RELEVANCE OF STANDARDS TO SOME EDUCATION AND
TRAINING CONTEXTS HAS BEEN QUESTIONED. IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR DESIGNERS
AND EDUCATORS TO BE SURE THAT THEY NEED TO IMPLEMENT STANDARDS, LET
ALONE TO CHOOSE THE MOST APPROPRIATE ONE FROM THE PIETHORA AVAILABLE.
THIS CHAPTER AIMS TO PROVIDE INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED IN THE DESIGN AND
DEVELOPMENT OF LEARNING OBJECTS AND LEARNING DESIGNS WITH A WIDE-RANGING
CRITICAL OVERVIEW OF E-LEARNING STANDARDS. IT FIRST TRACES THE EVOLU-
TION OF STANDARDS, AND THEN EXAMINES THEIRAPPLICATION IN THE PRESENT
DAY. FINALLY, THE CHAPTER CONSIDERS SOME OF TBE LIMITATIONS AND
CRITICISMS OF CURRENT STANDARDS, AND SUGGESTS SOME POSSIBLE DIRECTIONS
FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. CHAPTER XLII SUPPORTING DECISION MAKING IN USING

IN DEVELOPING MODEM INSTRUCTIONAL SOFTWARE, LEARNING DESIGNS ARE USED TO
FORMALIZE DESCRIPTIONS OF ROLES, ACTIVITIES, CONSTRAINTS, AND SEVERAL
OTHER INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN ASPECTS AND LEARNING OBJECTS ARE USED TO
IMPLEMENT THOSE LEARNING DESIGNS IN INSTRUCTIONAL SOFTWARE. CENTRAL IN
BOTH CONSTRUCTS IS THE USE OF DESIGN LANGUAGES TO SUPPORT STRUCTURING A
DESIGN TASK AND CONCEIVING SOLUTIONS. DUE TO A LACK OF STAN- DARDIZED
DESIGN LANGUAGES THAT ARE SHARED BETWEEN DESIGNERS, PRODUCERS, AND OTHER
STAKEHOLDERS, THE APPLICATION OFLEARNING DESIGNS AND LEARNING OBJECTS IS
OFTEN UNSATISFACTORY FOR THREE REASONS: (A) DIFFERENT INSTRUCTIONAL AND
TECHNICAL STRUCTURES ARE OFTEN NOT MEANINGFULLY ORGANIZED; (B) DIFFERENT
LEVELS OF DETAIL ARE MIXED TOGETHER; AND (C) DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS ARE
USED IN A NON-STANDARDIZED MANNER. A DECISION MODEL IS INTRODUCED-THE
3D-MODEL-THAT SUPPORTS BETTER SELECTION AND APPLICATION OF DESIGN
LANGUAGES. TWO STUDIES SHOW THAT THE 3D-MODEL CONTRIBUTES TO A BETTER
INFORMATION TRANSITION BETWEEN INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNERS AND SOFTWARE
PRODUCERS. CHAPTER XLIII PRINCIPLED CONSTRUCTION AND REUSE OFLEAMING

OFTHE CICE RESEARCH CHAIR. RECENT RESULTS ON LEAMING DESIGN MODELING AND
LEAMING OBJECTS REUSABILITY PROCESSES ARE THOROUGHLY PRESENTED USING
EXAMPLES DRAWN FROM MANY PROJECTS CONDUCTED IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. THESE
ARE DISCUSSED TO UNCOVER THE IMPORTANCE OF A PRINCIPLED APPROACH FOR THE
MODELING OF LEAMING DESIGN AND THE REUSE OF LEAMING OBJECTS IN
TECHNOLOGY ENHANCED LEAMING ENVIRONMENTS. FINALLY, DELIVERY AND
DISSEMINATION ISSUES ARE DISCUSSED AND A SUMMARY OF ON-GOING AND FUTURE
DIRECTIONS FOR RESEARCH IS PRESENTED. |
