"Transferring to MCLA was one of the greatest decisions I ever made. Being able to learn from and connect with the faculty and staff equipped me with greater networking capabilities/skills and the opportunity to use them outside of the institution, preparing me for the road ahead. Taking part and engaging in different clubs and organizations on campus helped to shape and guide me for countless opportunities."

Learning Objects and Curricular Examples

Learning objects are a new way of thinking about learning content. Traditionally, content comes in a several hour chunk. Learning objects are much smaller units of learning, typically ranging from 2 minutes to 15 minutes. They are are self-contained – each learning object can be taken independently and reusable – a single learning object may be used in multiple contexts for multiple purposes. They can be aggregated – learning objects can be grouped into larger collections of content, including traditional course structures and are tagged with metadata – every learning object has descriptive information allowing it to be easily found by a search. (Adapted from the Wisconsin Online Resource Center (WORC).
