Evaluating Interactive Online Learning Objects Designed for a Large Medical Education Class

• In Event: Online Discussion and Interaction

Abstract

Learning objects (LOs) are web-based interactive tools that can provide inclusive possibilities for engagement, assessment, and feedback (Kay & Knaack, 2009). H5P are HTML5-based LOs. With instructional design collaboration, teaching faculty created H5P LOs with discipline-specific concepts and processes and developed built-in assessments and feedback to engage students’ interaction with learning content. The researchers used a one-shot convenience sample design and evaluated instructor-created H5P LOs in a medical education class with 471 students. Kay and Knaack’s (2008) Learning Object Evaluation Scale for Students (LOES-S) was used to evaluate student perception of these H5P LOs, with 418 valid responses. This paper presents the evaluation of LOES-S in a large-enrollment medical education class, informing further development of quality learning objects.
