Further Information: There is a process that is known and understood, for sharing e-content that is accessible to those working in learning and development.
Why is it important to share e-content?
There is evidence across the NHS that although people are embracing e-Learning, there is a degree of duplication of effort when it comes to commissioning e-Learning resources. There is also a lack of sharing of resources. This is a waste a valuable funding. Therefore ways need to be found to ensure the most cost effective method of sharing existing content and creating new.
How can you do this?
The key to moving forward in relation to e-Learning content sharing is through partnership working. An example of this is below.
“In the NHS East of England, their e-Learning strategy states that they will facilitate partnerships between local, regional and national providers, enabling the sharing of best practice, achieving cost savings and encouraging innovation. It will act as an influential voice for the region at national level.
NHS East of England will increase the uptake of e-Learning through the creation of county e-Learning special interest groups, by promoting and facilitating the adoption of national e-Learning platforms and content, the development of regional tools and content as required, evaluating the potential of m-learning and other new technologies and developing robust reporting and quality assurance processes.
NHS East of England will also look to support necessary content development at local level and work with partner providers in education, the private sector and the voluntary sector on the development of new e-Learning interventions.”
