All of the RLOs listed below can also be found in the School RLOs section of this site.
This RLO provides an introduction to the basic concepts of meta-analysis, which is an important and valuable tool for summarising data from multiple studies. Content was authored by Jo Leonard-Bee of the School of Nursing.
Released in October 2006, this RLO identifies what SI units are, when they are used, and how to calculate unit changes. Content was authored by Carolyn Hardy and Richard Windle of the School of Nursing.
This RLO, released in October 2006, describes the inflammatory response - a series of local cellular and vascular responses which are triggered when the body is injured or invaded by micro-organisms or antigen. Content was authored by Jo Lymn and Jacqueline Randle of the School of Nursing, and developed by Lucrezia Herman for the LOLA project.
This RLO was released in October 2006. It defines the term 'confidence intervals' and demonstrates how they can be used to determine the significance and range of possible sizes of a treatment effect.. It's one of a set of RLOs for Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) authored by colleagues at the University of Notingham Graduate Entry Medical School at Derby, the other titles being:
Released in October 2006, this RLO outlines the importance of referencing and how to refer to the work of others appropriately. Interactive tasks illustrate the range of materials that can be referenced and examples of plagiarism. The RLO is one of a set of RLOs on referencing and literature skills.
Authored by Tim Hills (Senior Microbiology Pharmacist at the Queen's Medical Centre campus of the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust), this RLO is the first to be developed by Lucrezia Herman under the LOLA banner. The RLO examines how the absorbtion and distribution of aminoglycosides within the body affects the dosing regimens used.
This RLO deals with the opposing forces within the glomerulus and the Bowmans capsule which together create the glomerular filtration pressure. The RLO builds on the Starlings Forces RLO by the same author and is intended to form the basis for a future RLO on glomerular filtration rate. This RLO was developed jointly with De Montfort University, and developed by the irrepressible Viv Rolfe, once of SoN and now working as Senior Lecturer in Anatomy and Physiology and "E-Learning Champion" at DMU.
Two new RLOs on basic Chemistry have been published. The first defines and explains acids, alkalis and bases from an ionic standpoint, and introduces the pH scale. The second looks at the operation and application of these substances in the real word, and introduces neutralisation, acid/base reactions, and salts. The content of both RLOs was written by Jennifer Dandrea, a Lecturer in Biological Sciences at the School of Nursing Mansfield Centre, and the RLOs were developed by Paul Robertson of the University of Cambridge. The RLOs have been released for general use, although they await final peer-review.
Acids, Alkalis and Bases: an Introduction
Acids, Alkalis and Bases: Further Application
Authored by Briony Leighton of the Graduate Entry Medical School, this RLO considers how to measure and interpret the magnitude of effect in clinical trial results using relative risk reduction (RRR) and absolute risk reduction (ARR).
This RLO, part of the Evidence-Based Practice strand, and authored by Julia Lacey of the Graduate Entry Medical School, considers the type of evidence which should be used when making decisions about patient care.
This RLO, authored by Stephen Timmons, an Associate Professor in the School of Nursing, and developed by one of our freelancers, Caroline Burton, examines the difference between quantitative and qualitative methods of research, and fits into the Evidence-Based Practice and Research Methods RLO strands.
