Abstract
With the advancement in technology, learning management systems are increasingly sophisticated, and harnessing these capabilities could enable learners to advance swiftly to knowledge management. Learning objects seem to be poised to become the instructional technology for e-learning (Wiley, 2001). However, before we can advance to this new way of learning, it does pay to have a greater understanding of the beginning step -- the historical development of learning objects, instructional design model applied on Merrill's knowledge objects, the Gagne's Nine Events of instructions model and other key instructional design strategies such as interactivity and learner control (navigation) that can be used to develop learning objects which are branded as E-learning objects (ELOs).
E-learning Object or ELO is a branded name used to describe learning object as developed by Nanyang Polytechnic, School of Information Technology (Engineering Informatics), an approach of the institute's e-learning implementation. The use of ELOs in e-learning content infuses adaptability and flexibility into the learning process as contents are being chunked into smaller manageable pieces. The aim of this project is to provide a descriptive account of how effective ELOs design can enhance the e-learning of Computing Mathematics.
Beside this study, we do caution that there are other equally important factors that can affect the effectiveness of ELO learning. Such factors worth considering are : (a) a blended solution is being used together with ELO learning, (b) whether there is learning management system to support the e-learning and (c) whether Module Tutors and students are ready for e-learning.
