INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN AND LEARNING OBJECTS; TOWARDS A MODEL FOR THE DESIGN OF ONLINE LEARNING EVALUATION ACTIVITIES

Abstract

This article presents some conclusions and proposals regarding the field of the instructional design and the learning objects as a strategy for the improvement of the design of evaluation activities in online learning contexts. These conclusions and proposals were reached thanks to recent studies that have been carried out in the frame of our university, which have been observed from the activities typology of continuous assessment to the different processes followed up to conceptualize and plan. Likewise, some reflections are presented which derive from the experience in the development of tools and the methodological guides that have been used at our university from the start until nowadays. Furthermore, with this article, we pretend to show the opportunity that the use of instructional design and learning objects offers if it is conceived from a pedagogical perspective. Some ideas that will allow us to keep on investigating and improving are also suggested.
