Teaching Cognitively Complex Concepts: Content Representation for AudioGraph Lectures
Eva Heinrich, CHRIS R. JESSHOPE, Nic Walker · EdMedia: World Conference on Educational Media and Technology · 2001
This paper investigates a solution to support the learning of cognitively complex concepts, through the recording, annotation and online delivery of multimedia lessons. Recording lessons for online delivery has the advantage of utilizing all of the pedagogical skills of the lecturers and teachers involved. To facilitate the retrieval of appropriate teaching material, the lessons are annotated using a notation called the Flexible Structured Coding Language (FSCL), which facilitates a rich and precise description of these concepts, in a natural language-like format. Different streams of meta data are produced to describe the lesson's properties, like cognitive type and media type. The approach to support the technology-based learning of cognitively complex concepts is based on the following elements: record complete lessons using the AudioGraph tools; capture different streams of meta data and associate those both with and within the media elements; and describe the lesson content using the FSCL. The approaches presented are set on the context of the IEEE draft standard on Learning Object Meta Data (LOM). (Contains 17 references.)
