Learning Objects Call for participants (ALAO November 2004)
Deadline: ASAP
The Academic Library Association of Ohio’s Instruction Interest Group (ALAO-IIG) is looking for librarians who have used or developed learning objects in support of library instruction efforts to join a panel presentation at the ALAO Annual Conference. The ALAO Annual Conference will be held on November 12, 2004 in Dayton, OH. See http://www.alaoweb.org/04conf/ for details.
Below is the presentation abstract:
Learning objects are digital resources created purposefully for learning, and include components of teaching, feedback and testing. They can be used in different contexts, times and places. Their value lies in their suitability for distance education and online learning; the ability to design them to address various learning styles; and the opportunity to archive and share them via the World Wide Web. As a follow-up to the IIG’s spring workshop on Learning Objects, this session will showcase the application of learning objects to information literacy efforts. Librarians who have created learning objects and are successfully using them in instruction will demonstrate their work.
If you are interested in participating in this panel discussion, please contact me at the address below.
