Developing interactive multimedia Learning Objects using QuickTime

This paper focuses upon the application of the multimedia architecture ‘QuickTime’ for developing pedagogically sound interactive Learning Objects to support the teaching of principles of Audio Engineering. The project used an action research methodology in the design and evaluation of four successive Learning Objects by several different groups of users. The MERLOT criteria for evaluating Learning Objects was modified and utilized in the development process and the subsequent insights gained from developing and evaluating the Learning Objects are highlighted.
