Description -
This Interactive Learning Object Project (ILO) was created in Microsoft PowerPoint in order for students, at an elementary level, to understand various concepts related to the rainforest habitat (which aligns directly with our Charles County Public School curriculum). In order to meet the goal of this project, a table of contents acts as a navigation page to ensure that learners are able to easily access all content (Objective 1). The content within the PowerPoint includes understanding what a rainforest is, where they are located, animals that may inhabit the area, and applying this knowledge in a non-linear manner. The progression through the project allows viewers with ample opportunity to receive necessary feedback after completing formative and summative assessment questions. This also allows the learner to gain an authentic learning experience with peers and content in diverse contexts (Objective 2 and 3).
Although this Interactive PowerPoint is geared towards elementary aged students, learners of all ages are able to interactively engage in the PowerPoint and learn new information about rainforests. Since the goal of this project is to provide authentic instruction to a diverse set of learners, it incorporates effective use of visual design, graphics, maps, data tables, assessment features, and interactive buttons that allow the user to navigate through the presentation (Objective 1, 2, and 3). This rainforest content is used as a source of familiar information for students and provides students with an authentic learning experience with information that they may be unable to access in their own learning or living environment.
