Review: A learning object on the skills of apologizing (by Yanchap)

After offending somebody, one should apologize in order to comfort the offended. However, the way one apologizes does matter - the use of appropriate tones and words determines whether the apology is successful in comforting the others or not.

In the learning object, the learners would be able to experience different ways of apology in the first person point of view.

At the very first screen of the object, learners are affirmed the importance of an appropriate apology. It states the goal of learning very clearly.

After the opening statements, learners come across some statements of apology. In this part, learners are able to hear the audio recordings of the particular statements and determine which of them are more pleasing. Due to the availability of the audio clips, learners can familiarize with the situation more easily.

After finishing the above-mentioned activity, learners are asked to enter their observations about the art of apologizing. It leads the learners to think in depth why different statements of apology could have different effects. However, the learning object could not provide any feedback on the comments from the learners, even the learning object could not output the entered text to a text document for the teacher to comment.

The last part of the object explains the effect of apology of different statements. It enables learners to consolidate what they have experienced in the previous activities.

An interactive learning object

This is a learning object for learners to learn the concepts and functions about cam, gears, levers and pulleys. It encourages learners to try to build a machine through using these tools. The reasons why I like it are as follows:

--Appropriate academic references are provided

--Clear learning objectives

--Clear instructions

--Help learners to engage effectively with the concept/skill/idea:
Illustrate concepts that are less easily explained through traditional teaching methods

--Easy to use:
Consideration of the general layout of the object, attention to the buttons, menus, text and types of user-object navigation

--User control and freedom:
If users choose a function by mistake, they can safely leave the unwanted state
