Complementary school distance education using learning objects from the Greek National Learning Object Repository – Photodentro LOR
Abstract
This article presents ways of implementing modern technologies in the learning
process and explores the impact of complementary school distance education on the academic performance and satisfaction of students, as well as the
effectiveness/usefulness of the learning objects of Photodentro as a means of
enriching its educational material. An apparently (quasi) experimental method was chosen, which was tested for about two months on a sample of 90 students coming from four classes of the 1st Grade of Middle School. The 1st experimental team consists of two of these classes, wherein students took part in complementary distance learning and had online material at their disposal enriched with learning objects from Photodentro. In the 2nd experimental team the same objects were implemented in the school educational material, while in the 3rd team of control no experimental intervention was applied. The results indicate a positive correlation between the use frequency of the online distance learning educational material, the academic performance of the students and their satisfaction from the learning process. At the same time, the learning objects of Photodentro as a means of enriching the distance learning education material are confirmed as being effective in comparison to their
conventional counterparts.
