UCEL RLOs

The table below lists RLOs developed for the Universities' Collaboration in E-Learning (UCEL), by staff in UCEL member institutions, which includes the University of Nottingham:

23 RLOs available for use
Title	Description	Subject(s)
Bioavailability	Introduction to the concept of the bioavailability of drugs.	Pharmacology
Birth Prevalence	This RLO explores the concept of birth prevalence, a special type of prevalence defined as "the percentage of a given population who have a particular disease in a given population at a given point in time or over a particular time period."	Statistics
Cross-tabular data	This RLO examines how survey or experimental data can be converted to cross tabular data, and the steps involved in this process. It also examines how to present it in a way that is useful for recognising patterns and representing graphically.	Research, Research methods, Statistics
Doctor/Patient Relations	Understanding various facets of the doctor-patient relationship and factors that facilitate and impede the success of that relationship. The RLO uses video clips to illustrate four styles of doctor-patient scenarios.	Clinical skills, Practice learning and clinical skills
Drug-receptor interaction	Introduction to the interaction of cell receptors with drugs	Pharmacology
Exploring the synapse	Describe the events during the transmission of an impulse across a synapse	Biological processes, Pharmacology
Gateways to health	A collection of 13 videos (Real Video format) with people talking about their chronic health problems:	Healthcare (general), Public health
Half-life of drugs	To understand the half-life of drugs and its relationship with volume of distribution and clearance.	Pharmacology
Hand Hygiene	This learning object demonstrates, through streaming video clips, practical hand hygiene techniques for infection control in healthcare settings. There are also interactive self-assessment quizzes	Practice learning and clinical skills
Incidence	An explanation of incidence as the measurement of disease frequency	Research, Statistics
International classification of function	International Classification of Function (ICF) is akin to the International Classification of Disease (ICD) used to classify diseases and mortality, but concentrates on health and combines psychosocial as well as biological theory. The two are interrelated and complimentary.	Sociology
Levels of Measurement	To understand the different levels of measurement and the arithmetic operations that can be performed on them	EBP, Research methods, Statistics
Levels of Measurement: what you can and can't do arithmetically	An explanation of the statistical operations that can be performed on the different levels of measurement.	EBP, Statistics
Lock and Key Hypothesis	Introducing the "lock and key" analogy of drug-receptor interaction, whereby only drugs of a certain molecular shape will 'fit' with a cell membrane receptor.	Pharmacology
Parsons' Sick Role	The concept, sources, criticisms and strengths of the sick role as developed by Talcott Parsons.	Sociology
Power and sample size	An introduction to type I and type II errors with an interactive simulation to show the dynamic effects of variables on the power of the study	Statistics
Pressure	Introducing basic concepts of physical pressure, with particular reference to the role of pressure in healthcare situations.	Science basics
Prevalence	An explanation of prevalence as the measurement of a situation at one time	Statistics
Probability associated with inferential statistics	An introduction to probability, and the probability of sample errors affecting research results.	EBP, Statistics
Relationship between incidence and prevalence	An explanation of the relationship between incidence and prevalence with an interactive example	Statistics
Social class	Understanding the concept of social class, how it is modelled and some of the healthcare problems attached	Healthcare (general), Healthy Living, Public health, Social Work, Sociology
The Black Report and Inequalities in Health	This RLO examines the findings and implications of the Black Repor. This was a 1980 document published by the the Department of Health and Social Security in the United Kingdom, which was the report of the expert committee into health inequality chaired by Sir Douglas Black. It was demonstrated that although overall health had improved since the introduction of the welfare state, there were widespread health inequalities.	Healthcare (general), Healthy Living, Social Work, Sociology
Understanding First Pass Metabolism	Description of first pass metabolism of orally-administered drugs in the liver and gastrointestinal tract	Pharmacology
