A Layered Model for Quality Evaluation of Learning Objects in Repositories

Learning objects (LOs) are digital resources used to support teaching and learning processes and stored in learning object repositories (LORs), making them easier to search for and retrieve.

Sumario:Learning objects (LOs) are digital resources used to support teaching and learning processes and stored in learning object repositories (LORs), making them easier to search for and retrieve. However, in most cases it is difficult to determine the quality of these resources, and as a result this study presents a layered model for quality assessment of LOs that identifies the main conditions these resources must fulfill and a way to determine fulfillment by specifying various metrics. The results obtained from applying the proposal to the assessment of LOs in the Federation of Learning Object Repositories (FROAC) revealed problems in the quality of these educational resources, the importance of applying the model to support the delivery of better objects from searches and its usefulness as a management tool in LORs.
