Learning Object Attribute Metric tool (LOAM)

LOAM Tool online

The LOAM (learning object attribute metric) Tool has been designed as an evaluation tool for e-learning materials. It allows selection of a range of attributes or criteria against which the user wishes to assess the learning materials and then provides a series of tools to allow that assessment to be carried out and the results displayed.

The tool has been developed as a major output of the Sharing the LOAD project, which was an 18-month JISC-funded project exploring the reusability of learning designs. The following files present the tool in more detail (the links are to files on the Sharing the LOAD site):
