  1. RLO’s are good for Health! Heather Wharrad Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences

  2. What is an RLO?

  3. media assets instructional design What is an RLO? + activity +assessment + links + interactivity

  4. Characteristics of an RLO? Based on a single learning objective Defined educational need No external dependencies Context is minimised Labelled with metadata Can be packaged and delivered over a range of platforms

  5. Examples • Glove Use • Advanced referencing with modified Harvard • Plasma Proteins • Meta-analysis

  6. Design principles

  7. EASA Finalist 2004 - Design of learning objects Engage students with familiar everyday analogies

  8. Active student learning…..

  9. Visual Learning

  10. Scaffold student learning

  11. Learner preferences

  12. Rationale for Use

  13. The University of Nottingham School of Nursing

  14. Student Profile

  15. Life Before: R L s

  16. CAL Packages:

  17. Students’ evaluations (CAL) • ‘Can do it at own pace and in your own time- can go back if unclear about anything, good for revision.’(cohort 1997) • ‘CAL good presentation as lectures took a long time and concentration is lost.’(cohort 1995) • ‘It’s hard staring at a screen for so long’(cohort 1997) • ‘CAL packages in moderation are good because you have to find the answers yourself.’(cohort 1997) (Student quotes from Wharrad et al 2000)

  18. Early lessons (lecturers) • Developing large packages – time, cost, updating • Wanted to use some sections but not all • Based on areas of student difficulty • Offer ‘added value’

  19. Nurse Prescribing Course - A Case Study

  20. Nurse Prescribing Course - “We needed more time on each aspect [of Pharmacology] until factors were absorbed and understood!!” “I have always struggled with ‘biology’ etc so its not the lecturers’ fault that I do not understand the sessions. I will revise at my own pace.” - developed RLOs incorporating high quality graphics and audio to help students understand core pharmacology concepts

  21. Pharmacology RLOs Exploring the synapse First pass metabolism Understanding half life Understanding bioavailability The lock & key hypothesis Excretion of drugs in the kidney Drug metabolism in the liver Agonists and antagonists Drugs acting at the synapse Plasma proteins in drug binding

  22. Students perceived understanding of pharmacology concepts on a nurse prescribing course.

  23. Strengths Development Process Pedagogically Led Use and Reuse Evaluation LO economies

  24. Centre of Excellence in Teaching and LearningFor:Reusable Learning Objects http:www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk

  25. The RLO-CETL is concerned with: Advancing the pedagogical design of RLOs. Building an RLO community for reuse. Constructing staff development & rewards Disseminating the impact of RLOs Evaluating RLOs as learning resources Through an ambitious programme of development, research and collaboration.

  26. Genetics Applied Maths Engineering Study skills EB Practice Pharmacology Languages Clinical skills Sports science Study skills Study skills Business studies

  27. Community of Use • Miniprojects • Team-orientated • Supported • Workshops • Communication

  28. Team work!

  29. RLO Development

  30. The development process

  31. Development Stages -1 Identified Educational needs Framing a proposal Production of a specification

  32. RLO specification

  33. RLO specification

  34. Quality Assurance Pedagogical review Technical review by Media developers Peer-review at specification and production stages Student-review at specification and production stages

  35. Classified Labelled Packaged Stored Storage,use & reuse of RLOs

  36. Intralibrary:

  37. RLO Time Summary – reuse and sustainability Social sciences Ethics Mental health Health promotion Paediatrics • Number of RLOs Evidence-based practice • Community Sciences Biology • Subject areas Research methods
