UCEL RLOs

The table below lists RLOs developed for UCEL, by staff in UCEL member institutions. All RLOs are publicly available for use. The RLOs fall under a range of broad headings, colour-coded for clarity:

Biological Processes	Statistics	Study Skills	Clinical Skills
Research Methods	Sociology	Epidemiology	Science Basics

Although we make every attempt to keep this list up to date 'linkrot' can set in, so for the definitive list of UCEL RLOs see the RLO Catalogue on the UCEL website.

NB: These RLOs have audio voiceovers, so please make sure to have headphones or speakers connected to your PC. The RLOs will run ok without audio output, but they'll not be as interesting and/or entertaining.
