AUN-TEPL Symposium

Advancing Co-creation of Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs) to Digitise Healthcare Curricula: The ACoRD project.

SYNOPSIS

A reusable learning object (RLO) is an open access, succinct, interactive and multimedia web-based resource which focuses on a single learning objective and can be used in multiple contexts. A total of 23 health-related RLOs (http://acord.my) were co-created under the ACoRD project following the ASPIRE framework, involving students and lecturers. The RLOs developed were integrated into teaching and also released for wider use. Questionnaires were incorporated in the RLOs for evaluation purposes and users were invited to answer them as they were using the RLOs. As of 24 Feb 2022, accumulatively, 7622 people (11 countries) have accessed any of the RLOs. The respondents liked the RLOs as they were simple, easy to understand, fun and interactive; 99% (N=2071) thought the RLOs were helpful or very helpful. Both knowledge and confidence scores improved from pre-use to immediate-post-use and 6-week-post-use. These RLOs are found useful and should be widely disseminated.
