Abstract
This pilot- study focused on the evaluation of Learning Objects for face-to-face and online education, proposing a set of quality indicators for design teams to consider while selecting learning material. The aim was to find out whether the Learning Objects were suitable enough to be used and/or reused. A sample of teachers, tutors and computer technicians of a graduate program in a Colombian university participated in the study. To analyze the data collected, indicators for the evaluation of the quality of Learning Objects were based on three main aspects: the role of the tutor and their previous experience, the design process, and the evaluation of the learning object. Conclusions established that a standardization of Learning Objects may be difficult, however, in order to be usable and reusable, these Learning Objects must all be flexible to adapt to students’ needs.References
