School of Pharmacy eLearning Project: An Overview • Paper based educational materials used for distance learning • Creation of a repository of educational materials for a growing online resource • Course content authors are often distributed by time and geographic location • A process that requires a minimum of training for external authors • Materials were not available in standard file formats

  4. Why Course Genie? • Separation of the content from the VLE • Reuses existing IT skills through the use of familiar software tools • no need for authors to learn WebCT • Allows units to be sent electronically to be updated by authors • Supports a standard delivery of content (e.g. accessibility concerns, visual consistency)

  5. School of Pharmacy eLearning Project: Improving the Process • OCR Software introduces layout issues • Version Management • Course Genie ‘quirks’ • Selective Training address specific requirements • Training for CG to a wider audience than our IT staff • Include interactive elements provided in Course Genie for next iteration

  6. School of Pharmacy eLearning Project: Next Steps • Continue process for other materials • Publishing units in the WebCT repository • Analyse student feedback • how online units compare to paper based units?
