This showroom will feature different RLOs from time to time. We
welcome your comments on any aspect of the RLOs you find here.
UCeL is a UK HE collective, collaboratively creating, sharing and
evaluating RLOs for health professional education. To find out more

Whilst there is currently much learned debate about what actually
constitutes a RLO, many of the difficult sticking points (such as
granularity and combinatoriality) are not very helpful in assisting
teachers to create their own online resources. So UCeL has taken
a decision to define a RLO for its own purposes. This is
not to say that we have THE definitive solution - we merely
offer A solution - which we are refining and evolving over
time through a collective programme of action research and evaluation.
UCeL defines a RLO as: "a self-contained chunk of interactive
web-based eLearning comprising a variety of media ingredients and
designed to support a single learning objective". To assist
RLO creation, UCeL has pioneered methods of unlocking content and
offers a suite of tools and templates along with quality control
and production methods. For more information and to download documentation,

Because each RLO is designed to explore or explain a single concept
and is stand-alone, they are simplicity themselves to use. Each
RLO is composed of a number of web pages with text and an embedded
multimedia file - usually a shocked Director movie or Flash animation.
There is a narration to add an extra sensory dimension and activities
and self-assessment aid comprehension and allow the learner to gauge
whether they have understood the material.
There are two levels of navigation. The RLO can be navigated either
sequentially through the series of pages or in any order or sequence
for revision purposes. Each embedded movie also has a navigation
bar where each section may be reviewed, a feature that should add
extra functionality and aids user control.

UCeL RLOs are made to high production standards. They are quality
assured through a rigorous peer-review process and student evaluations
are an important part of their development life-cycle.
We test our RLOs very thoroughly but we are not infallible! Please
report any bugs, inconsistencies, typos or factual errors to the
UCeL webmaster.

You may also wish to refer to 'RLO
Central' for a categorised list of completed RLOs and RLOs currently
in production.
If you'd like a go at making your own RLO, you can download the
tools and templates of the UCeL production pack from the UCeL
resource centre...
