Educational Technology for Healthcare Education
Each RLO goes through a series of stages in its production, from vague idea to to final release - this constitutes its 'lifecycle'. The formal stages are briefly described below, but in practice stage boundaries are sometimes blurred, and there's considerable 'iteration' in the development process.
| Development stage | Description |
|---|---|
| Concept | Author(s) have idea for the RLO, but no specification has yet been written. |
| Specification | Specification is in writing, or has been written and is awaiting review. |
| Specification peer review | Specification has been written and is under review. |
| Awaiting development | Specification has been peer-reviewed, and the RLO has been placed in the development queue. |
| Under development | RLO is being produced in software by the developer. |
| RLO peer review | The RLO has been produced in software and is undergoing peer-review. It may be placed online for use at this point to allow for student feedback, a sort of 'beta testing'. |
| Released | RLO peer-reviewed and officially released for use. |
| Discontinued | When a RLO becomes obsolete, out of date, or otherwise has to be withdrawn from circulation. |
