ID template 5.0 for creating learning objects

INSTRUCTIONS SLIDE: DO NO EDIT

WelcomeThis is a document to explain the chosen concept to the

animator.

Since the animator may not be aware of the subject matter, write elaborately and provide images wherever possible

This document has sections which will provide the necessary details to the animator before starting the animation.

The slides with yellow background (like this one) are the 'Instruction slides'. Read these slides to understand the section.

The slides having Blue background (like the one shown)

are the 'Guidelines slides' These slides would be helpful in writing the sections.


Information section

Next few slides are about the necessary information regarding the concept.

Write the information by clicking on the headings provided in the slides.

You can add more slides, incase the information is not fitting in the given slide.

Avoid changing fonts, colours and font sizes, unless it is really critical (ex: make text bold if you want the readers to pay attention to that word)

Learning objectives

After interacting with this Learning Object, the learner will be able to:

– (objective 1)– (objective 2)

Assembly Diagram providing visual information

It is important for the animator to get a visual idea about the components in the LO. Therefore, provide visuals of ALL the components in the concept.

This section has two important aspects: – information about visuals in the LO– placement information of those visuals

Create visuals in the slides titled 'Diagrams' wherein show a detailed images of the components (See example slide). Number the diagrams

Use BOLD lines in the diagram (minimum 2pts.). In the images, identify and label different parts of the components.

Illustrate the basic flow of action using arrows.

In the slide after that, provide the definitions of ALL the labels used in the diagram. (See the example)

You may have multiple diagrams. In this case, number them as Assembly Diagram 1, 2, 3…Create multiple slides for these


Creating a diagram• Create a schematic diagram of the assembly used in the experiment

• Initially, use shapes to denote the components incase you don't have the actual images.

• Instruct the animator to recreate the images, if you haven't provided, or if the ones you have used are copyrighted. Provide suggestive links/hand drawn sketches of the images

• Show the flow of action using bold and coloured arrows.

• Make new diagram, every time the components change

• Add unique labels to each component, and place the label near it. Use an arrow to show the association between the component and the label

• Be consistent in the labels used. Do not change the label names for the same component in various diagrams

• Provide definitions for ALL the labels used in the diagram in the slide after the diagram

Example of Definitions of the labels

Diagram 1: Graph

Definitions of the labels used in Diagram 1:Graph: Graph is a diagram showing the relation between the two quantities, typically of two variables, each measured along one of a pari of axes at right angles

Waveform: It is a curve showing the shape of a wave at a given time

Animation design • Use the template given (next slide)to show the

placement of the elements.• This is a sample template, and you are free to

change as per your design requirements.• Try and add / rename / move the tabs / buttons /

sections / subsections as required.

• Use ‘callouts’ as shown above to explain the source of content. Ex: If the call out is placed at the Tab 01, and you want the content to be taken from slide 3 of this presentation, then place this callout on the Tab 01, and write ‘Slide 3’ inside the callout.

Stepwise description of process

The goal of the document is to provide instructions to an animator (who is not an expert).

You have to describe what steps the animator should take to make your concept come alive as a (moving) visualization.

Refer to the pedagogy and interaction design guidelines (next two slides after this) before creating the LO, these will give an idea of various options to be used for creating LOs.

Use one slide per step. This will ensure clarity of the explanation.

Add a image of the step in the box, and the details in the table below the box.

You can use any images for reference, but mention about it's copyright status. If required, the animator will have to re-draw/re-create the drawings

Add more slides as per the requirement of the animation


General pedagogy guidelines

• Invite access to content via multiple modalities of learning (visual, auditory, kinesthetic).

• Provide opportunities for learners to make choices, make decisions, or manipulate elements.

• When learners are able to make choices, ensure that the choices are meaningful.

• Give learners a chance to interact with the content. Use interactive tools where users can manipulate abstract concepts, test their own assumptions about them and see the consequences of their own actions.

• Provide feedback for every action done by the user


Guidelines: Refer before creating sections

Guidelines on adding interactivity

•Some of the ways in which Interactivity can be added are: Simple navigation: back and next, or play and pause

buttons Allowing selection to the user: radio buttons, check

boxes Providing options for specific inputs: text/numeric boxes Providing regulatory controls: slider bars, regulators Providing active participation: drag and drop, move /

rearrange

Use interactivity to decide the flow of communication in the LO.

Self- Assessment Questionnaire for Learners

• Please provide a set of questions that a user can answer

based on the LO. They can be of the following types:

– These questions should be 5 in number and can be of

objective type (like MCQ, Match the columns, Yes or

No, Sequencing, Odd One Out).

– The questions can also be open-ended. The user would

be asked to think about the question. The author is

requested to provide hints if possible, but a full answer

is not necessary.

– One can include questions, for which the user will need

to interact with the LO (with certain parameters) in

order to answer it.

– It is better to avoid questions based purely on recall.


Questionnaire: Add more slides if required

Use appropriate formatting for the questions

Links for further reading

In the next slide, provide some reference reading material for the users.

It could be books, reference publications, or website URLs.

Summary

• Please provide points to remember to

understand the concept/ key terms of the

animation, in the next slide.

• The summary will help the user in the quick

review of the concept.
