Objective:
Upon completion of this article, the reader will be able to describe learning objects (LOs) and discuss their use in clinical laboratory sciences instruction.
Design:
Through a questionnaire, educators evaluated clinical laboratory sciences-related LOs for accessibility, usability and instructional qualities.
Setting:
LOs were presented on a password-accessed website. Evaluations were completed on the website.
Participants:
Nine educators participated in the evaluation.
Interventions:
The LOs were made available to participants for use in their own instructional material.
Main Outcome Measure(S):
The evaluation measured educators' interest in and perceived usefulness of LOs in clinical laboratory sciences curriculum.
Results:
On a scale of one to five with one equal to poor and five equal to excellent, participants rated LOs as accessible (4.68) and usable (4.61). Ninety-eight percent stated that they would use LOs in their curriculum. Fifty-seven percent stated that they could attribute improved learning performance on student exposure to LOs.
Conclusion:
LOs are useful, relevant, and time-saving resources to clinical laboratory sciences instruction.
