Session Abstract
Students (n=99) at a junior college studied a unit of religion online using an independent learning objected and a narrated PowerPoint presentation. Those who interacted with the learning object scored an average of seven points higher than those who listed to the PowerPoint.
Target Audience
Educators involved in distance learning and curriculum development would be interested in this presentation.
Session Description
In the field of distance education, learning has been confined to PowerPoints and videos, along with screeds of text. Ideal learning objects incorporate a multi-media approach to a subject, engaging students through tactile, verbal and auditory types of learning, increasing cognition that is superior to current distance learning.
