UCEL presentations

UCEL has a national and international voice in the great RLO debate. The collaborative, distributed model with its joined-up collective approach, is proving attractive to other disciplines.

Powerpoint presentations

"Because content counts" - Everything you wanted to know about reusable learning objects in practice - a powerpoint introduction to UCEL, RLOs, what they are (and what they're not), how they are made collaboratively, what they cost, how they are evaluated. By Dawn Leeder, Director of UCEL

"What's all the fuss about metadata?" - an excellent, in-depth presentation by Suzanne Hardy from the LTSN-01 Learning and Teaching Support Subject Centre for Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine. This draws from Jenny Slater's thorough work in this field whilst at CETIS

"Here's one we made earlier..." - an essential guide to the RLO development life-cycle, from instigation to final delivery.
Heather Wharrad's tale of RLO creation straight from the 'chalk face'

"Reuseable learning objects in Health Professional Education - from theory into practice" - a different slant on the development life-cycle of an RLO. Paul Garrud reinforces and offers further ideas for RLO development with examples from his own 'Questionnaire' RLO.

"What the Subject Centres can get out of UCeL: a suggested framework" - a presentation for the JISC Distributed eLearning Programme Briefing, SOAS, London 12 August 2004 By Raquel Morales
