Learning objects are self-standing, reusable, discreet blocks of content that meet an instructional objective. Video Interactive Learning Objects (VILOs) are cost effective, 5-to-15-minute, interactive video vignettes addressing specific learning objectives, have a long shelf life, and are offered via multiple delivery modes, including direct web download, TV broadcasting, on-demand streaming, and podcasting. In Medical Assisting, for example, faculty required students to watch VILOs before lecture and lab sessions, which increased interaction during class time and led to 100% skill-set pass rates. VILOs combine traditional learning objects with a video interactive format. This format is used to demonstrate lab skills and takes students who are seeking a richer and more engaging learning experience to the next level of learning. VILOs encourage instructors to explore ways to use technology to foster interaction, collaboration and excitement for learning.
