| Abstract Text: | Visually interesting and interactive learning objects support learning in "Advanced Pathophysiology," taught by the College of Nursing and Allied Health, University of St. Francis, Joliet, Illinois. An instructional designer worked closely with a subject matter expert/instructor in the design of learning objects, using a popular multimedia authoring program for the web. The session will demonstrate the collaborative methods that led to the creation of learning objects, through onscreen displays of authoring environments, a slide show, and handouts that trace the development of an object from simple sketches to publication. The presentation will open with a skit that shows how the designer and instructor solved problems at-a-distance using a "live" feed of the designer's desktop to the instructor's computer, saving many man hours of travel and consultation. Results of a student survey support the use of learning objects. Discussion will conclude the session. |
