RWLO Library Has Many New Additions
I have addressed Real World Learning Objects (RWLOs) in previous blog entries; however I wanted to let you all know that manynew RWLOs have been submitted to this library/repository. I encourage you to review them at http://www.ciese.org/pathways/rwlo
RWLOs differ from RLOs in that they use unique and compelling web resources that cannot be done any other way. Additionally, all RWLOs consist of eight components including course competencies that the RWLO addresses, assessment, student and instructor procedures, etc.
For more information on RWLOs, read on...
What are RWLO’s?
Real World Learning Objects (RWLO’s) are concise core instructional internet-based activities focused on discrete topics in higher education mathematics, science, educational technology, teacher education, and language arts. Through a PT3 grant partnership project, faculty members from the Maricopa Community Colleges have developed and contributed many RWLO’s to this online resource library.
RWLO’s are intended to facilitate the engagement of learners in technology-rich, constructivist, and inquiry-based experiences. They utilize unique and compelling (real time data, collaborative, primary source, or web publishing) resources that are easily used in similar courses at other institutions of higher education and focus on inquiry-based and/or problem-solving activities that are relevant to students.
The RWLO library may be found at: www.ciese.org/pathways/rwlo
These Real World Learning Objects were developed for the PT3 Pathways Project with funding from the U.S. Department of Education.
