Learning Objectivity was originally created to ease the load on tutors in the Further Education sector, but our software is suitable for many UK education professionals. Emphasis is placed on ease of use and automation, with close attention to current pedagogic thinking. Embedding of elearning is at the heart of our software but is never obtrusive.
Package licences are priced to match the needs of the UK education market and will not overstretch your budget.
We have been working on Past Present Future - our take on ePortfolios which passes ownership of information to the learner and presents a new way of maintaining and sharing personal data.
Our flagship product is LO Course Design - Version 3 is now ready.
LO Course Design is a course planning tool for teachers, lecturers and trainers. It integrates a number of course design functions and helps avoid duplication of work while simplifying the tasks involved. As well as speeding up course design, all major course data is held in one central source for ease of updating.
In addition to helping you plan the course - session by session or module by module -the system guides you towards the discovery and embedding of all course materials and both local and external online resources.
Essentially, you create a course outline based on start and end dates,
or number of modules, and optionally the lesson pattern (days, times,
locations). Summary details for each lesson can then be entered and
amended at any time, and expanded into detailed lesson plans if you
wish. At the start of a new year, you can apply a new timetable to an
existing course.
A major advantage is the automatic creation of Schemes of Work, Lesson
Plans, reading lists, student diaries and other documents for printing
or editing. LOCD will even create zipped content for quick
and easy upload to an IMS compliant Virtual Learning Environment (such
as Moodle), and enables direct linking to content repositories using
National Learning Network and similar online learning materials.
Version 3 incorporates changes and enhancements requested by users. Data created in previous versions is fully compatible with LOCD3.
Pricing: For UK Further Education institutions: from £250 per 1000 FTE students per annum, or for other sectors please email details of your institution and student numbers for information.
LO Course Design 3 is now ready (except for the full help system which is currently being prepared). You are welcome to download the full evaluation version here (about 3mb).
