  1. Sharing Learning Objects in Health careConference March 2009 Heather Wharrad University of Nottingham

  2. Welcome • 5 CETLs • Reusable Learning Objects • Interprofessional Elearning (CIPEL) • Clinical & Communication CETL • Interdisciplinary Mental Health • Assessment and Learning in Practice (ALPs) • 5 Collections and repositories • Learning Exchange • NHS Evidence • NHS Learning Repository • INTUTE • JORUM

  3. Delegates • From NHS and FE/HE sectors • Lecturers from FE and HE health & social care • Learning technologists/pedagogy advisers • Information & library officers • Elearning facilitators and advisors • Trust Educators and trainers • Repository and elearning companies

  4. Why are we here? • A vision and a proposition… A seamless gateway to learning where lifelong learners in health care have access to open, individualised, ‘just in time’, high quality and quality assured (multimedia?) elearning materials to support and assess core skills and knowledge across the curriculum …as they move from school, college, work and home. “…wider seamless integration of open cross-sector tools, resources and systems for education web 2.0” (Selwyn et al, 2008 Education 2.0? Designing the web for teaching and learning)

  5. We have the technology.. Existing and emerging repositories with health collections (Open)Jorum, NHS, Intute, Learning Exchange, CETLs Ways of searching (harvesting) from multiple repositories IRISS Technical challenge is to improve the integration and interoperability and look for ways of integrating Web2 and 3 technologies.

  6. Its no good without the content.... Use/reuse Contribute

  7. What about content? • Learning object economy (Littlejohn, 2003) • Communities that agree terms to share and reuse learning objects Wiley, 2001 “Any digital resource that can be reused to facilitate learning” Jacobsen, 2002 “A discrete reusable collection of content used to present and support a single learning objective." UCEL, 2002 "A digital resource based on a single learning objective and comprising a stand-alone collection of 4 components: presentation, activity, assessment & links" RLO-CETL (2005) “A learning object is the minimum, meaningful pedagogical unit required to achieve a learning goal or objective” granularity

  8. What about the content? • Learning object economy • Communities that agree terms to share and reuse learning objects • Great potential for H&SC - largest subject areas in FE/HE • 70,000+ students (nursing alone) in 70 colleges and universities • Take a core element – handwashing • Cost to produce10 minute high quality multimedia learning = £1400 • x70 institutions cost = £98,000. • 1 copy in an open repository and 70 institutions using it – cost £20 per institution • Divided by numbers of students -cost per student is pence • How many handwashing learning objects exist already?

  9. ‘Unlocking the content’ • Open educational resources initiatives Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills… “a new approach to virtual education based on a corpus of open learning content: the UK must have a core of open access learning resources organised in a coherent way to support on-line and blended learning by all higher education institutions and to make it more widely available in non-HE environments.” Cooke report (2008) At http://www.dius.gov.uk/policy/documents/online_innovation_in_he_131008.pdf )

  10. ‘Unlocking the content’ • Content ‘locked’ within VLEs and not developed for reuse • Barriers to sharing and reuse (NIH) • Building communities who feel able to share content (‘bottom up not top down’) • User driven content creation and sharing

  11. NIH - Analysis of Reuse 1258 feedback forms June 2008 58 RLOs <40% complete the feedback

  12. Reuse analysis No effect on rating

  13. Map of reuse Interactive map

  14. What factors have facilitated reuse? RLOs Freely available Easily accessible Quality assured Relevant to the curriculum People Building communities Altruism Committed teams/partners Building a reputation

  15. Today is about: Using the conference repository as a model of sharing… Content Community Culture ….with the ultimate aim of enhancing the skills of our learners and improving patient outcomes

  17. Groupwork Discussion Focus Health care and health care education are; diverse, ever changing, idiosyncratic, highly pressurised, driven by a multitude of external influences, evidence-based, accountable…. The conference repository represents a putative attempt at sharing resources. With regards to the dynamic needs, characteristics and culture of the health care community, how can we make our attempts at sharing resources grow and have biggest impact for life-long learning in health care? • 5 groups with facilitator (nominate a scribe) • Demo LOs and address 2 specific Q’s relating to the above trigger • Bring 3 recommendations relating to your 2 Q’s to the plenary session
