REViPBiology of PainEnvironment and Population HealthADAPT

Common Aim and Objective Objectives

To identify external resources to repurpose

To embed RLOs into module deliveryTo evaluate the process of repurposing

and developing RLOsTo evaluate the impact of developing

RLOs on students learning

REViP

Repurposing Existing Virtual Patients from Heidelberg University, Germany

Delivering tools through OpenLabyrinth Share best practice in repurposing and

delivering learning tools.

REViP Catherine Miller

Biology of Pain

To create a visual resource to help students understand the complex biological concepts of pain physiology

Delivered in FlashAn animation, which can easy be

adapted by academics

Aim - Obtain feedback from students

Three resources evaluated Students at SGUL took part (n=34 students

with 95 responses) Medical and other healthcare students Session lasted one hour per student

Results (2)

“I usually depend on what the tutor or institution has to say as they obviously know more about the course than others. Some students are helpful but I still think its better to hear it from the institution. With students, it can be difficult as some are not as willing to help.

As for the search engines, the standards are different as some are for those on a higher level than others

ie. too detailed.”

Summary

Positive student feedback

Combine the lessons learned from all partners to avoid pitfalls

Started CFG process earlier

Conduct more evaluation

Conclusion

Concentrate on repurposing unique resources which are:

worth the effort to change the contextor

independent of contextor

so valuable to either teacher or learner, that context becomes unimportant
