Learning Objects: Simulations, Games, Texts, Modules

Repositories are full of different learning objects, from the smallest (e.g. a graph, an article) to the largest (e.g. captured lectures, entire courses) shared by educators from around the globe. Some offer objects for all disciplines, and others are discipline-specific, often having grown from one department at one institution with a commitment to sharing its knowledge, and then allowing it to grow beyond its borders.

When selecting additional resources, remember to keep diversity in mind:

  • Look for resources that show diverse groups in the profession(s) or case studies that use non-Anglophone names
  • Choose podcasts that showcase diverse voices
  • Select TED Talks from diverse speakers
