Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management Requirements for each block • Must be able to communicate with learning management systems. • How a learner moves between blocks is controlled by the integrated learning system. • Must have a description that enables designers to search for and find the right block for the right job. • Usually the length of each block is between five to fifteen minutes.

Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management Integrated Learning System • ILS is computer-based

Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management Integrated Learning System • ILS is computer-based systems for the delivery of curriculum material, via an individualized program of study • An ILS is made up of two components, Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) modules (often called courseware) and a Management System. HRIM 642/442 Hospitality CBT

Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management Key Features of ILS • An individualized

Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management Key Features of ILS • An individualized learning program. High performers can make rapid progress onto higher levels of difficulty. When learners experience problems, they are given more practice and/ or additional tutorials. Questions are related to various skills needed for the topic. • Instructors have access to data for monitoring learners’ progress. They can identify learners who are experiencing difficulty and in need of additional support. Data are gathered automatically and can be displayed in reports. Over time, Management Systems are helpful in predicting future performance. • Provide learners with immediate feedback thus improving learner motivation and acceleration of learning.

Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management Learning Objects A learning object, for all practical purposes (designed for active learning), is an object or set of resources (blocks) that can be used for facilitating intended learning outcomes, and can be extracted and reused in other learning environments.

Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management Learning Objects v. Informational Objects • The

Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management Learning Objects v. Informational Objects • The intent of a learning object's designer is to facilitate learning, while information objects are designed to be a reference, and not necessarily for the purpose of retaining skills or concepts by the user. • Learning objects incorporate assessment, while information objects do not. Example HRIM 642/442 Hospitality CBT

Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management Informational Objects are Passive Learning Objects •

Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management Informational Objects are Passive Learning Objects • Most learning objects are active learning objects. However, informational objects are instructional in design but do not require active participation from the user. These are called passive learning objects. Remember: • If the intent is to inform, then it is an informational object. If the intent is to facilitate learning, then it is a learning object and should have an assessment. HRIM 642/442 Hospitality CBT

Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management So, Without Learning Objects • A significant

Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management So, Without Learning Objects • A significant investment in either content or a learning system is locked into that particular content or system. • Every time a course or an interactive electronic training manual needs to be updated, far more material must be rewritten than is desirable. • The process of developing high-quality content is prone to unnecessary duplication of effort, thus driving up the cost. HRIM 642/442 Hospitality CBT

Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management Pros of Learning Objects • Production Costs

Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management Pros of Learning Objects • Production Costs – Breaking content into learning objects, content can be maintained and updated separately. If a suitable learning object can be found, a new one does not need to be created. • Flexibility – As more standards-based learning objects become available, increased choice will translate into more flexibility. • End User Cost – Learning objects prevent consumers from being locked into specific systems. As standards take hold, the market for content provide for content to be reused or recycles thus lowering production cost while increasing options. • Industry Support – Leading system vendors and content producers are supporting SCORM standards, which complements the learning object approach. HRIM 642/442 Hospitality CBT

Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management Cons of Learning Objects • Production Costs

Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management Cons of Learning Objects • Production Costs – Changing content to a learning objects from a "selfcontained system" approach involves retooling and retraining costs. • End User Cost – The increased cost of converting existing content to a learning objects approach will drive end user cost upward. • Industry Support – Realistically, it is twelve to eighteen months between the time the vendor community adopts an approach and the time products that implement the approach are available.
