The Birmingham Re-Usable Materials (BRUM) Project aims to "develop 15 electronic re-usable learning objects (RLOs) to aid student's information skills then explore academics' and students' perception and use of the learning objects as they are embedded into the curriculum." There is a website to host the learning objects at http://www.is.bham.ac.uk/blasst/brum.htm and a blog at http://brumproject.blogspot.com. A week or so ago they said they were "interested in hearing from anyone who is currently undertaking any similar projects particularly those involving working closely with academics to embed training." Nancy Graham, n.graham.1@bham.ac.uk or Ann-Marie James, a.m.james@bham.ac.ukThis was one of the projects supported by the Eduserv Foundation as part of their Information Literacy funding programme. The others to receive funding were Christine Irving and John Crawford (Glasgow Caledonian) for their work on an information literacy framework; Kingston Hospital NHS Trust on behalf of the E-learning Group which aims to develop an Information literacy learning tool for healthcare staff; and Netskills, to develop two workshops for the school sector.
