GLOs in Combined Studies
Nov 27 2009, 10:40 AM EST | Post edited: May 17 2010, 5:10 AM EDT
Up to15 Generative Learning Objects are being created for multidisciplinary online teaching at the University of Manchester. Initially, these GLOs will be used by undergraduate students in Combined Studies courses to develop evaluative and interpretative skills. Funded by Learnhigher the project hopes to employ PHD students todevelop a GLO, in one or two of the listed disciplinary and interdisciplinary areas, based on the eMI (Evaluating Multiple Interpretations) pattern. The GLOs will enable students to study multiple interpretations of a key idea/image or concept. Two workshops are planned at the start of project in December 2009 and then early in 2010 to showcase the GLOs"


GLO update!
We now have eight GLOs completed and a further 5 in production. Topics include Evolutionary Psychology, Philosophy, Auteurship in Film, Simone de Beauvoir and more......
I hope to be able to make some available via the Gallery soon and for others, where copyright is an issue, I will provide an email contact for further details. The majority of PhD students producing the GLOs have reported that they have found them easy to build and have enjoyed the process and will use it again. They have also reported interest from academics in their disciplines. Do you find this valuable?
