Building Core Abilities During Student Learning Through Formative and Summative Assessment
This learning object gives instructors an opportunity to review the definitions of formative and summative assessment and list examples of the evaluations they use. In a drag and drop exercise, they classify a variety of assessment tools as either formative or summative.
Evaluating Sources for the Technical Research Report
Students view information taken from various sources and decide if the material is acceptable for a technical research report. After choosing whether or not the source material is acceptable, the students read an explanation from the instructor.
Recreational Mathematics: Palindromes in Mathematics and the Search for Patterns
Users study a chart containing numbers 1 to 99 and look for trivial palindromes as well as double and triple iteration palindromes. The reverse and add technique is demonstrated.
In this interactive object, learners set up a shear, enter the back gauge dimension, and prepare to shear metal in a simulation of the Adira Hydraulic Shear.
Solving Systems of Linear Equations Using the Addition or Subtraction Method (Screencast)
In a series of practice problems, learners use the addition or subtraction method to solve systems of linear equations, also called "simultaneous linear equations."
Bloom's Taxonomy for Affective Learning and Teaching
This lesson focuses on the affective domain, which refers to attitudes of awareness, interest, attention, concern and responsibility. Users quiz themselves on their basic understanding of the content.
In this screencast, learners examine the concept of gear ratios. The number of teeth, diameters, and velocity relationships are discussed and calculated using linear ratio equations.
This is a learning object describing what a learning object actually is. This will take us through the definition of a learning object and break down each segment to help clarify the mystery of this wonderful online tool for teaching and learning.
