Workshop Outline
• A repository of learning objects was created
from delegate’s contributions as part of the
Sharing Learning Objects in Health Conference
( 24/3/09 University of Nottingham).
• During the afternoon of the conference
delegates were divided into 5 groups asked to
review the repository and address the
following discussion task:
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?
Recommendations
• Each group was asked to address specific
questions and derive a series of three possible
recommendations relating to each.
• During a plenary session that followed the
workshops all delegates were given the
opportunity to vote of the recommendation
they thought was the most important to take
forward.
