Towards an experience in the use of Learning Objects in Meaningful Learning Activities using eXeLearning

Higher education institutions address the issue of content creation as a fundamental space that involves professional preparation, technical knowledge and didactic aspects of the professor. The objective of this work is to present a training strategy for professors with the use of the eXeLearning tool for the creation of learning objects and that contributes with an experience of use in learning activities to the existing literature. In this study, empirical-analytical, quasiexperimental, quantitative research is conducted. A population of 140 professors belonging to a polytechnic university in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador, participated in the survey technique to determine their satisfaction with the training received. The results show that 80.5% of the trained professors are satisfied with the experience of the work done focused on the design and construction of learning objectives. The limitation of sharing learning resources remains in independent repositories of an institution without being shared. For future work, it is proposed to develop longitudinal research involving a second stage of training with the professors and to evaluate the quality of the learning objects from the students' feedback.
