Paper Abstract:
|
In order for Web-based learning objects (WBLOs) to be useful, they must provide help for the students to learn the
subject matter. Hence, in addition to the technical usability, which is a necessary, but not sufficient requirement, WBLOs
must be pedagogically usable. Both aspects of usability are closely related to each other. Technical usability involves
techniques for ensuring a trouble-free interaction with the WBLO while pedagogical usability aims at supporting the
learning process. This paper proposes a framework for conceptualizing pedagogical usability issues of WBLOs. The
article draws on research in learning theory, pedagogical strategies, usability constructs, and Web technologies. The work also
reports on students perceptions of WBLOs by means of survey questionnaires. |
