MENA ARAYA, Aáron. Integration of audiovisual and multimedia resources as learning objects in Costa Rican public schools with acces to XO computers. Rev. Actual. Investig. Educ [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.1, pp.483-513. ISSN 1409-4703.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/aie.v17i1.27454.

The Ministry of Public Education of Costa Rica and Quiros Tanzi Foundation have implemented since 2012 the Conectandonos Project, through which XO computers are distributed to primary schools in a one to one computing education model. Available information on how teachers incorporate audiovisual and multimedia resources to learning activities mediated by XO computers is scarce. With the aim of finding out if XO computers have boosted the use of learning objects and collecting information for the designing of audiovisual and multimedia resources, a survey was applied to 186 teachers working with Conectandonos Project. It was determined that 82.7% of the teachers use XO computers in their classes at least once a week, and that English and Mathematics are the subjects in which computers are used the least. It was also found that even though teachers regularly use audiovisual and multimedia resources, in most cases these are not utilized as learning objects. This means resources are rarely manipulated, modified or created by the students. This document elaborates on the construction of the concept of learning object, and describes the research, design and production processes involved in the creation of two audiovisual and multimedia resources bundles to be used as learning objects in English and Mathematics classes, taking advantage of the possibilities of Conectandonos Project one-to-one computing education model.
