Learning objects
A learning object is the framework for you to create a storyboard, add content, media, sections and assessments that make up an engaging, trackable lesson or a course.
Below is a learning object created with HowToo.
Storyboards
A storyboard is the base framework for your lesson. It outlines the sequence of the course and the type of blocks used to effectively convey your learning. Storyboards are also used to define the title of each page, and section, used in course navigation.
Every learning object has either a single-topic storyboard, or multi-topic storyboard.
This is a linear, single topic storyboard.
And this is a multi-topic storyboard.
Blocks
A block is a single page or screen in a lesson. HowToo has many block types to choose from, such text and media blocks as well as interactive blocks, such as carousels, click and reveals or questions.
You can see above that each learning object is made up of a number of these blocks.
Each block thumbnail displays the category, visual card, title, and description.
- Category: The type of block chosen
- Visual card: An image of the block type
- Title: The block title, used for sidebar navigation by learners
- Description: More information about the block contents. This is only for Creator reference
Templates
Templates are course frameworks that allow creators to quickly develop high-quality courses by dropping their content into each block in the suggested sequence.
Based on action verbs from Bloom's Taxonomy and common business objectives, they offer a recommended sequence of blocks with suggested content for each block.
With over 50 templates, you're sure to find something to help you get started.
Ready to go courses
Ready to go courses are complete editable learning experiences. With engaging activities and trackable assessments, all designed by expert learning designers. Ready-to-go courses can be delivered as-is, or edited using HowToo to align branding elements, or tailor the information to your organisation.
They contain everything; an expertly designed learning storyboard, beautiful images, videos and media, and content from subject matter experts.
Assessment
Assessments enable you and the learner to test their understanding of the lesson content. Assessments are an important tool to ensure that the learner has achieved the learning outcomes of the lesson
Assessments are used to provide a score tracked by HowToo Academies and many other LMS platforms.
With HowToo, you can create a formal assessment section at the end of your learning object that will track the learner's cumulative score and present pass or fail feedback. You can also place question blocks throughout the learning section of your learning object, though the scores for these questions will not be tracked.
HowToo offers a range of question blocks, such as multiple choice, true and false, drag and drop and rearrange, that allow you to assess your learner by asking questions and requiring the learner to submit a response. These blocks allow you to provide written feedback to respond to correct and incorrect answers. Providing feedback is a chance to encourage your learners, and provide knowledge they may have missed or misunderstood.
