Co-operative Learning Object Exchange

Our learning object is being submitted to the Co-operative Learning Object Exchange (CLOE), "a collaborative project of seventeen Ontario universities developing an innovative infrastructure for joint development of multimedia-rich learning resources. The key innovation in CLOE is the creation of a virtual market economy for engaging multimedia to support online learning. Each institution will develop multimedia learning resources to address instructional challenges shared by the other partners. Each institution will contribute educational multimedia to the co-operative exchange and use resources developed by the other institutions in return."


As a member of this group we attended an Instructional Design & Learning Technology camp where we developed our skills and knowledge in creating interactive learning-centred objects. Each team was assigned an actual project and together we worked through the different stages of design; needs assessment, protoyping, sequencing/ scoping, usability testing, evaluation, project management and development.
CLOE is funded by eduSourceCanada, which promotes community building while developing learning objects

Hopefully, we will continue to expand the community of practice around learning object design and evaluation to include the sharing of code, instructional strategies, applications of LO's and evaluation methodology.
