Learning activity

This article or section is a stub. A stub is an entry that did not yet receive substantial attention from editors, and as such does not yet contain enough information to be considered a real article. In other words, it is a short or insufficient piece of information and requires additions.

Definition

• A learning activity is a building brick in a larger pedagogical scenario. There is no precise definition (see also the debate on how to define a learning object where we face exactly the issue of defining its scope)

• DSchneider uses learning activity as synonym for a self-contained pedagogical scenario or a learning unit that is part of a larger unit (e.g. a course).

See also pedagogical scenario

Activities in instructional design

• Many modern instructional design models put activities at center stage.

• Accordingly, educational modeling languages follow the same trend, e.g. see IMS Learning Design
