- Abstract
This article takes an introductory look at re-using online resources, working with learning objects and considers the opportunities and roles available to information professionals. As one sees the agenda for education gather speed, it becomes increasingly obvious that one must find cost-effective ways of developing and delivering learning. Blended learning is a model that must appeal strongly to the provision of learning within a healthcare context since it addresses the need of scalability and flexibility whilst allowing for local interactive face-to-face learning episodes, such as group work and workshops. E-learning particularly facilitates the re-use of learning materials and with the ability to share learning resources we should, in theory, be able to reduce costs of course production. A web site offering a catalogue of learning objects either hosted locally or in other collections and portals. These learning objects could be hybrid products containing third part digitized content requiring clearance for educational re-use by the intended user.
