Group Discussion

Friday, October 10, 2003
9:15 a.m. - 9:45 a.m. GS03

FOCUSING QUESTIONS:

What are our "rules of engagement" for discussion today?
In what ways does the proposed conceptual framework need clarification?
In what ways does it need to be changed for the purpose of our work product(s)?
In what ways does it need to be changed in the future to be a more complete framework?

Opening Remarks

Friday, October 10, 2003
8:00 a.m. - 8:15 a.m. GS01

Susan E. Metros, Deputy CIO & Associate Vice Provost, University of Southern California

QUESTIONS:

What is a useful conceptual framework and common vocabulary for effectively exploring the issues related to learning objects?
How do different groups (disparate disciplines within higher education, K-12, public service media, university presses, publishers, libraries, museums, industry, business, government, and so forth) conceptualize learning objects, and what is common across all of these views?
How can the breadth and scope of learning objects be determined, articulated, and portrayed?

Panel - Implementation Issues for Maximizing the Learing in Learning Objects

FOCUSING QUESTIONS:

How is teaching and learning being transformed by the use of learning objects?
What are the conditions that exist within institutions, communities of practice, and repositories that support the development of learning objects for the purpose of deeper learning?
What are the potential changes in roles (faculty, learning designers, instructional technologists) in this development environment, and how will they contribute differently in the future?

Friday, October 10, 2003
11:15 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. GS04

Ellen D. Wagner, Senior Director, WW eLearning Solutions, Adobe Systems, Inc.

FOCUSING QUESTIONS:

What is the potential of learning objects to support deeper learning (see http://www.west.asu.edu/nlii/learning.htm)?
How do we know where learning objects fit within the entire learning environment (e.g., course management systems)?
What are the potential approaches for evaluating learning objects, when deeper learning is the focus?

Wrap-Up
