This article presents the structure and theoretical foundations of the Learning Object Review Instrument (LORI), an evaluation aid available through the E-Learning Research and Assessment Network at http://www.elera.net. A primary goal of LORI is to balance assessment validity with efficiency of the evaluation process. The instrument enables learning object users to create reviews consisting of ratings and comments on nine dimensions of quality: content qualit y, learning goal alignment, feedback and adaptation, motivation, presentation design, interaction usability , accessibility, reusability, and standards compliance. The article presents research and practices relevant to these dimensions and describes how each dimension can be interpreted to evaluate multimedia learning resources.

Historical project up to date as of 2003. Materials designed to support professional development in embedding learning technologies. Materials available from this site have been produced by institutions participating in EFFECTS and the ELT award, in the spirit of building a shared understanding of practice. You are welcome to re-use these materials in workshops or ELT programmes. Materials available from other sites have been used successfully in the context of ELT and EFFECTs programmes. Most are publicly available for use, but please check before downloading. See the ELT in Action page for ongoing arrangements to share and collaboratively develop materials for embedding learning technologies. Materials are organised into general resources to support staff development with learning technologies, and materials relating to the specialist ELT Learning Outcomes.

Focuses on increasing interactivity through lecture capture and blended learning. Interesting section on students using mobile learning tech to customise their online distance learning experience.

Useful and recent (2013) document providing learning resources evaluation guidelines. Could be useful starting point in thinking about how to evaluate materials

Useful links to resources in relation to eLearning and evaluation of learning resources. Useful for background information. All JISC projects, programmes or services are evaluated and occasionally JISC will also undertake longitudinal evaluation to assess whether outcomes have been embedded in learning, teaching research and administration.

University of Coventry links to articles regarding pedagogy and student learning styles - most of this is listed as open access. There are some case study type materials on this.

This case study examines how ePortfolios, used in conjunction with blogs, can encourage students to become more critically reflective learners. The benefits and challenges of using ePortfolios are discussed, along with strategies for providing sufficient technical and pedagogical support, to enable teachers and students to confidently use the technology as a collaborative learning tool.
