Workshops:
A one-day hands on, practical UCeL workshop
"Reusable Learning Objects for Interprofessional Education"
Outline
Based on UCeL's acclaimed one-day hands-on practical workshops for developers, educators and anyone interested in finding out how to make high quality eLearning content. Participants will gain an in-depth, hands-on and practical understanding of all the steps, methods, tools, templates and processes required to unlock expert content and convert it into high quality interactive multimedia RLOs. The emphasis will be on creating content appropriate for interprofessional education. No technical knowledge is required as all activities are manual and all materials are provided. Break-out groups work collaboratively on content using specially designed and laminated A0 posters. Groups are facilitated by roving presenters and results are compared, discussed and digitally archived for future use. The sessions are highly interactive and designed to be informal, stimulating, fun, and challenging.
Objectives
Participants will gain an in-depth, hands-on and practical understanding of all the steps, methods, tools, templates and processes required to unlock expert content and convert it into high quality interactive multimedia RLOs. No technical knowledge is required as all activities are manual and all materials are provided. During the morning session the principles of reusability are introduced, with demonstrations of RLOs currently in use. Break-out groups are assigned and begin to work collaboratively on content with a further session in the afternoon. Groups are facilitated by roving presenters and results are compared, discussed and digitally archived for future use. Tasks are assigned and timetabled to take the content on to the next stage of development.
