Instructional Objective: Learners identify the relationship between a Sharable Content Object and a Learning Management System

Software: iSpring, PowerPoint

This SCORM-compliant reusable learning object features high contrast for readability and the use of proximity to balance white space, chunk information, and grouping of like items. The one-question quiz is designed to allow multiple attempts and provides feedback for each possible attempt.  

Reflection on this project 

I created this usability test after the first iteration of the course, Structured Literacy: Who Benefits, focusing on user interactions, content length, feedback, and visual design. This usability test form was completed by a colleague who does not have a background in literacy instruction.

Overall, the feedback was positive with minor interaction revisions which were corrected before publishing the current version of the course. Among the positive feedback was that the sequence of the course allowed the user to better understand the main content. 

This course is one learning module in a larger course. Because the content of the larger course could change based on current research, modules were designed to stand alone, as SCORM-compliant reusable learning objects.
