English: Edmund Leahy, Lecturer Masters of Musculoskeletal/Sports Physiotherapy and Co-ordinator Postgraduate Masters of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy studies talks with Leigh Blackall about a project he managed, developing a multi media educational resource.

In 2012, the Faculty of Health Sciences invested in the development online resources for the Master of Musculoskeletal and Sports Physiotherapy program. A previously face-to-face workshop called " MRI for the Lumbar Spine : A Physiotherapy Perspective" was chosen for this project.

The production was to be an online learning package delivered via the Moodle learning management system.

The resource consists of

Pre-reading relevant to the topic 10 Content learning objects. These objects were filmed mini-lectures which guide students through the process of navigating and using Lumbar Spine imaging. As part of the resource, students are asked to "have a go" at various activities, prior to the online presenter giving their thoughts. A PDF of the power-point presentation used. An online quiz "flag race" of 10 questions in which students can check their knowledge. A discussion forum. How the resource was developed

The resource featured a content expert as a presenter. To avoid copyright difficulties, it was decided to produce original work. The audio-visual media was developed by a contracted producer. Animations were created by a contracted animator.

The most challenging part of the development of the resource was the co-ordination the production team.
