Learning Objects Quality Evaluation: A Case Study

Abstract

One of the fundamental reasons for addressing the quality of Learning Objects (LO) is certainly the fact of creating open educational resources to support learning. The lack of quality controls in LO definitely affects the teaching and learning process. This, reinforces the need to evaluate them adequately to ensure their quality levels. This paper presents the evaluation of a LO, previously designed on the basis of Emerging Pedagogies, to support the teaching and learning process of the Waiting Phenomena. To evaluate the LO, the LORI tool is applied with experts in the field and the CUSEOA tool with end users. The results obtained show that the LO has been described as very good quality and that as an educational resource it can be very valuable for achieving the proposed objective.
