The document discusses a project by Leeds City College library staff to create an e-learning resource on using various aspects of the library. The project aimed to (1) create a reusable Moodle resource accessible campus-wide, (2) involve staff from multiple campuses in the creation process to give them a sense of ownership, and (3) break down barriers between roles through team building. The staff created interactive lessons using Adobe Captivate that could be integrated into the college's virtual learning environment and used internally or externally. Everyone on the team contributed ideas and skills to the project, such as librarians writing puzzles and scripts, and an editing expert directing video clips.

3. Aims of Project
• Create a usable e-learning resource on using various
aspects of the Library, accessible through Moodle
• Create the resource together as a team, and cross-
campus and involved staff from other campuses
• Creating a project together gave staff a sense of
‘ownership’ of the resource
• Break down barriers between roles- ‘Team building’
• Creating software using Adobe Captivate creates
interactive lessons that can be integrated with VLE and
used anywhere in College and externally.

4. The Murder Mystery

5. Each activity looked at a different
resource on the Library Intranet site
• E-resources such as Ebrary and
Infotrac
• The Library Catalogue
• Journals
Not subject specific
Could be used in classroom,
but also externally, or in the
Library itself
Used audio and written
instructions.

6. Everyone Gets Involved
• The puzzles and the script written by librarians
• All staff had input and ideas on how the
resource could be more creative
We already had a member
of the team with video
editing skills who directed
the video clips.

7. The Good Bits…
• Information Literacy
• Research Skills
• ‘Compare and contrast’
• Team loved inventing
characters
• Brought the team
together
• Was cheap to produce

8. Things To Think About
• Would have students test at every stage
• Would make resources suitable for various
levels
