Design of Educational Digital Resources

USE CONTEXT

Digital resources are one of the most important learning tools at this moment.  As teacher we must to be involved in this technological world because students are too. When we design a digital resource we must know that all should to be focus in students, these resources have to guide and have all the instructions for the asignment be done. The part of teacher is essential in the development of digital resources at class.  We always have to remember that all our job must be center in what students need to learn and what they have to put into practice in class, at home or any place. Now we have a lot of web pages that help us to make this resources.  You can visit the following links and check the information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx-RVUULUNE  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOoJqHXR5vQ

Curricular Concretion

Curricular concretion is the process where teachers and educative authorities take decisions about the strategies to implement to reinforce the teachers practice according the context of students. In this kind of decisions are involved in the following criteria: Adequacy Suitability Priority Necessity Interactivity Transference These criteria help us to identify the way of how to adecuate digital resources to our curriculum to choose the elements that work better with our digital resource without forget that we have to prioritize the subjects from our curriculum and like this students can work easily and everything, according to their necessities of learning. The content that we have to share with our students must to allow them to take decisions and to see for themselves the consequences of them. The criteria of "transference" refers to all our digital resources implemented at school should have references to real life and students can put into practice the knowledge acquired

Characteristics of Digital Educational Resources

The following characteristics should be part of a Digital Educational Resource: Multimedia Interactivity Accesibility Flexibility Modularity Interoperability Portability These characteristics give us the form of what we must to think in our digital educational resource.  Multimedia and interactivity refers to the use of videos, links to web pages not only text and images  Students must interact with different platforms and can see with their own eyes the proceses that come with the knowledge acquired. All digital resources must be accesible, that means all students are be able to get in our digital resource without necessity of having a fast velocity of internet nor a super computer and all the information given by teacher have to be comprensible and of interest to them. All digital resources used in education have to be portable, flexible and all the time students can share with other people their achievements and reached goals according to the given elements to improve in  their process of teaching and learning.  

The "Digital Learning Object" model

The Digital Learning Object (DLO) has three basic characteristics: Facilitates the learning It's independent Can integrate other objects to give rise a more complex one. There are many DLO: DLO Media (M) DLO Media Integrated (MI) DLO Learning Object (OA) DLO Didactic Sequence (SD) DLO Formation Program (PF) DLO Learning Resource (RE) Do you want to know how DLO works, watch the following video:  

Principles of Structural Design of learning objects.

Principles that can serve as the basis of the structure of  a resource include: Objects and sequences Information and interaction Independence Variety of activities Simplicity Cognitive effort Immediate feedback Significant reinforce All these principles will help to take our project to the full success.
