A Multi-Component Model for Assessing Learning Objects: The Learning Object Evaluation Metric (LOEM)
Kay, Robin H.; Knaack, Liesel – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2008
While discussion of the criteria needed to assess learning objects has been extensive, a formal, systematic model for evaluation has yet to be thoroughly tested. The purpose of the following study was to develop and assess a multi-component model for evaluating learning objects. The Learning Object Evaluation Metric (LOEM) was developed from a…
