Taxonomies
101 learning objects from the RLO-CETL, UCeL and SONET collections have been analysed and a classification of their pedagogical attributes has been derived, based on the IMS Learning Design Framework.
12 key attributes have been identified that describe and quantify the learning objects. These attributes are mapped to the environment, roles and activities in the IMS LD framework. See how this maps to the IMS learning design framework word | pdf. See how these attributes are scored ppt | pdf
LOAM tool
The prototype tool is now available online here
The Learning Object Attribute Metric (LOAM) Tool, developed as part of this project and presented at Ed-Media 2007 in Vancouver, allows analysis of the pedagogical attributes of learning objects based on the 12 key attributes outlined above.
