Learning Objects--WISC-ONLINE



(Azalea)There are sufficient learning materials embraced in this website, referring to different fields like business, health, technical, general education and so on. This website is a good learning platform for sharing and acquiring resources, although most of these resources are presentation and information objects and simply designed with the performance which is mostly like Power Point. But, many of these learning objects have their own ways to stimulate users’ thinking, like giving multiple-choice questions or examples associated with the content. I think it is one way for motivating learners; however, it is still lack of interactive function established between users and knowledge providers. For evaluating its usefulness of teaching and learning, I think it suits those self-learning learners who have foundation knowledge in a certain area, and is a good source of reference resources for teachers. But, as these learning objects cannot be rebuilt or split for reuse, it is hardly to be a component of courseware.

    Short Review:
    By dragging points to the coordinate axes, students could identify a coordinate by X and Y axes. Good LO for coordinate practice. During this process, students could gain direct feedback by getting a tick for right locating the point or a cross for wrong locating the point.
