In addition to those developed by the School, there are an increasing number of finished RLOs produced for the Universities Collaboration in E-Learning (UCEL) which are available for use by staff and students: see the list of available UCEL RLOs.
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.
