E-learning 2.0

Downes, Stephen·2005·eLearn

Abstract

When we think of learning content today, we probably think of a learning object [https://edtechbooks.org/-nLgm]. Originating in the world of computer-based delivery (CBT) systems, learning objects were depicted as being like lego blocks [https://edtechbooks.org/-gjo] or atoms [https://edtechbooks.org/-pPc], little bits of content that could be put together or organized. Standards bodies have refined the concept of learning objects into a rigorous form [http://ltsc.ieee.org/wg12] and have provided specifications on how to sequence and organize these bits of content into courses [https://edtechbooks.org/-CVBg] and package them for delivery [http://www.intrallect.com] as though they were books or training manuals.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
