Part of our team’s project will take off from my internship’s project.

Internship

My internship is with the Center for Teaching Excellence, SMU, and my primary scope is to assist in developing e-learning materials.

How it came about

During this internship, I was tasked to take care of the technical portion of developing an e-learning resource generator, with the agreement that another team would take over subsequently. It was then that my supervisor and I thought it would be good if my FYP team could take up the project instead.

Discussion with Team

My team had a discussion on the feasibility of the project, and we thought that there were many other components that have to be included for a system to stand, and a few templates are merely insufficient. We had a meeting with our then-prospective client and gathered the following: By the end of George’s internship, 2 flash templates will have been created. Our team will move in to plan and implement the following: • Invoke the SDK to generate the flash learning objects • Host the service, as well as newly created objects • Survey professors from each school to find out their needs • Translate their needs into functionalities • Create more customized templates • Creating a portal that manages these templates • A database that stores all content to enable querying of information, even extending it to current module outlines to draw objectives from there. • Implement retrieve and edit functionality • Development server (in discussion) plus load balancing capabilities • An online repository with our built-in clip art • Packaging the learning object in compliance with SCORM • Creating an overall system that administrates all components and testing on server • Integration with LMS (testing) • Mobile learning (in discussion for its potential) • Ultimately becoming the 4th vendor for SMU for e-learning materials

Progress

We’ve had meeting with our clients a few times in effort to understand his requirements and to have a consensus on what solutions we are going to translate into. The above pointers are his general requirements, but he also opened the floor to us to take the project one step further, if it can help boost the attractiveness to users, both end-users and operating users. With our client’s flexibility in additional deliverables, we will keep ourselves open to new ideas and may add them into our scope from now till acceptance presentation.
At present, we have identified the software and technologies that we are using, and have started learning how to use these tools.


Reusable Learning Objects (RLO)

A learning object is based on a single learning or performance objective, built from a collection of static or interactive content and instructional practice activities (Cisco Systems Inc, 2003).

Benefits (to cite cisco)

For Faculty (Non-end users)

  • Consistency of learning products across SMU
  • Provides guidelines to write efficient and effective lessons
  • Enables searches to find or reuse across learning objects
  • ...

For Students (End users)

  • Provides mechnism for students to self-assess their knowledge
  • ....

For SMU
