Start date: July 2006

Building on initial work in the creation of Reusable Electronic Learning Objects (RELOs), this project seeks to push the boundaries by: a) exploring new pedagogic techniques in the presentation of electronic material; b) incorporating these into further and new types of RELO; and c) constructing a module-based infrastructure in which RELOs can be used. The project also engages with the challenges of the presentation of content in the primarily content-focused disciplines of TRS when adopting a highly student-centred pedagogic approach. A particular emphasis is placed on the reusability of electronic learning objects within each of these three areas.

One of the outputs of this project was an article in Discourse, volume 6, number 2, 'Reusable Electronic Learning Objects for Theology and Religious Studies', by Alison Le Cornu and Angie Pears.
