The Health E-Learning and Media team based in the School of Health Sciences at the University of Nottingham provide expertise and support in the development, design, evaluation and research of technological and media based educational materials and interventions in health. Current areas of research include the design and reuse of open educational resources, e-learning self-efficacy and adoption, and participative design and the effectiveness of online healthcare interventions.

The e-learning resources are designed around the principles of the 'reusable learning object' or RLO. These are web-based resources that consist of a mixture of multimedia elements such as audio, text, images and video and which engage the learner in interactive learning through the use of activities and assessments. They represent approximately 15 minutes of learning activity.
