Program Description
The Designing Interactive Learning Objects Institute is a three-day workshop devoted to exploring the effective design and integration of Interactive Learning objects into active learning environments. The institute will introduce faculty to interactive digital activities that allow students to deeply engage with content, principles of online activity design, and assessment strategies to measure the impact on student learning. Examples of learning objects are quizzes, games, simulations, and interactive graphics and video. In addition to introducing best practices to inform the design of digital interactive learning objects, faculty will experience each step of the design process and engage in peer review. Throughout the institute, faculty will focus on mapping activities to specific student learning objectives for a unit in their course. The Designing Interactive Learning Objects Institute is open to all faculty.
