These two objects are examples of around eighty learning objects currently being produced by the CeLLS (Collaborative eLearning in the Life Sciences) Project (http://www.cellsproject.org). The learning objects and their content are a product of a unique collaborative process involving the Life Science community of practice across Colleges and Universities, and a centralised commercial development team. The collaborative production and use of learning objects is aimed at enabling the change in ethos of teaching and learning in Life Sciences at SCQF Level 7 and 8 to a more student-centred approach. The learning object design we have developed is also highly flexible, facilitating implementation in the wide variety of institutions, pedagogies and technical environments. The objects are a product of large-scale production process using a standardised learning object structure and exemplify the type of content the project identified to be reusable in various Life Sciences contexts.
