Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning for Reusable Learning Objects (CETL-RLO)
The Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning for Reusable Learning Objects was a major programme funded by HEFCE with some £3.3 million over 5 years, led by London Metropolitan University, with Cambridge University and the University of Nottingham as partners. Whilst the programme came to a natural conclusion in 2010, at the end of the 5-year funding period, its website and the many learning objects it developed are still online at:

Learning Objects: Lifelong Applications (LOLA)
The LOLA project was funded by the Eduserv Foundation as a cross-sector collaboration to develop a range of multimedia learning objects covering topics relating to Infection Control and Medicines & Prescribing. The learning objects developed, and many of their component parts, remain available in the RLO repository on the LOLA website, for use under Creative Commons conditions by healthcare educators in HE, FE and the NHS.
