Aim:The aim of this PowerPoint presentation is to compare an
effective digital artefact with a ineffective digital artefact, in
relation to a student being able to make a real world connection to
support and further their learning.

Digital artefact number 1-effective
resourcehttp://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/body/index_interactivebody.shtml
I found the bbc interactive human body to be an effective
technological artefact for the subject of PDHPE. This technological
artefact allows students of years 7-12 to explore and learn about
the different parts and systems in the human body individually for
example: organs, muscles, bones and the nervous system.
3
Why is it an effective technological artefact? Students are able
to make a connection to the real world and their study area of
PDHPE as the interactive website allows students to further their
learning while completing the activity through offering hints and
fact files. Fact files direct students to a new window, which
enables the students to continue with their progress on the
interactive body, while directing the students to a level of higher
order thinking through offering them a flash movie of how the
organ, muscle, bone or nervous system works in the human body and
provides further information about the particular part of
interest.
4
Why this technological artefact? This technological artefact has
the ability to be utilised in a classroom situation or at home as
it has no inappropriate ads, it has a student centred learning
approach, the resource can be used individually as it provides
hints to the students, the information provided is accurate and
from a reliable source, the resource is also not linked to any
social networks and it offers instant feedback of results so
students can monitor their own progress.
Offers students clues, if they are having difficulty.Shows the
students the muscle, bone or organ that needs to be placed in the
body.If the students are still having difficulty finding where to
place the body part they can click on hint which then appears in
the top left corner.If the students get the muscle in the right
place a fact file can be clicked on and an animation will appear of
how the part works.

Digital artefact number 2-ineffective
resourcehttp://blackboard.newcastle.edu.au/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp?tab_id=_2_1&url=%2fwebapps%2fblackboard%2fexecute%2flauncher%3ftype%3dCourse%26id%3d_1323441_1%26url%3d
For the second digital artefact I choose DLO3. DLO3 is a flash
program that allows students to explore and learn about the muscles
in their body. This program would be relevant to PDHPE, however
when comparing it to the bbc interactive human body I found that it
was a less effective resource as it had limited opportunities to
expand the students knowledge with real world connection and create
higher order thinking .
7
Why does this artefact lack connection and engagement with
students in PDHPE?From my opinion I believe this digital artefact
fails to create enjoyable interaction when learning about muscles.
It would be appropriate to utilise this artefact if the students
were in the younger years of PDHPE however the information is not
appropriate to students in higher grades (year 11 and 12) as the
information is not formal and some information is irrelevant. I
also found this website less engaging due to the layout, colour and
style of writing. The layout is not straight forward and I found it
difficult and time consuming to navigate through the activities
making it less efficient due to less learning time.
Hard to read font, too much irrelevant information
