New e-learning for Healthcare resource - e-VTE launched Venous thrombosis is a condition in which a blood clot (thrombus) forms in a vein. Blood flow through the affected vein can be limited by the clot, causing swelling and pain. Venous thrombosis most commonly occurs in the 'deep veins' in the legs, thighs, or pelvis. This is known as a deep vein thrombosis. An embolism is created if a part or all of the blood clot in the deep vein breaks off from the site where it is created and travels through the venous system. If the clot lodges in the lung a very serious condition, pulmonary embolism (PE), arises. Venous thrombosis can form in any part of the venous system. However, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and PE are the most common manifestations of venous thrombosis. DVT and PE are known as venous thromboembolism (VTE). e-VTE is an e-learning resource for Venous Thromboembolism developed by the Chief Medical Officer’s VTE Implementation Working Group (IWG) in partnership with e-Learning for Healthcare (e-LfH).

Experts in comparative anatomy, evolution and behaviour put some of the most popular and enigmatic large animals under the knife. Veterinary scientist, Mark Evans, will interpret their findings, biologist Simon Watts tests the animals' physiology in the field and Richard Dawkins traces back the animals' place on the tree of life.

National Prescribing Centre podcasts Dan Kurland's strategies for critical reading and writing To non-critical readers, many texts offer the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. To the critical reader, any single text provides but one portrayal of the facts, one individual's "take" on the subject. Criticalreading.com shows you how to recognize what a text says, what a text does, and what a text means by analyzing choices of content, language, and structure. It shows you what to look for, and how to think about what you find. Using the web to encourage critical thinking 'Using the Wider Web to Encourage Critical Thinking' is a series of exercises designed for classroom or seminar use, aimed at sixth formers and first year undergraduates. Intended to develop students' analytical abilities, these resources use the Web – which offers unparalleled opportunities for comparative study of different types of writing and argument – as source material. The subject matter is of relevance to a range of humanities disciplines (most especially, though by no means limited to, philosophy and religious studies), while the research skills gained will be valuable to all students. Two units are currently available, the first focussing on checking facts, and the second on gauging and analysing popular opinion on a range of controversial issues. In both units, students are invited to explore the Web and find a number of sites which address the selected topic, and then, in a teacher-led group discussion, to share and discuss their findings. The Teacher's Guide includes suggested session outlines and discussion points, and worksheets and PowerPoint presentations are also supplied. Etherpad Real time collaborative text editing tool.

Free online training resources on using web 2.0 tools for busy lecturers 'Outstanding ICT initiative of the year' winner of the JISC award is commended for 'commitment to open access to online content' A wealth of openly available multimedia content won the JISC/Times Higher Award. Created by University of Westminster lecturer Russell Stannard's websites build upon pioneering work using video to mark students' work. Using screen recording software, Stannard recorded himself walking through various Web 2.0 technologies with a voice-over, which were then uploaded to a website - www.teachertrainingvideos.com. The site quickly proved popular and rapidly built into a bank of over 30 videos. Its success led to the creation of another resource - www.multimediatrainingvideos.com - which offers free training videos in using more complex multimedia programmes like Flash, Director and Photoshop. In its second month, the site received nearly 60,000 hits. Veterinary training research initiative The Veterinary Training and Research Initiative (VTRI) is a government-sponsored scheme for veterinary graduates and undergraduates.

Philosophical and Religious Studies Subject Centre faith guides There is often a lack of understanding as to what a religion is, and what it means to be a member (or not) of a specific faith group. Confusion can result in all walks of life and higher education is not exempt from this.

This series of Faith Guides from the Higher Education Academy Subject Centre for Philosophical and Religious Studies will not necessarily solve all the controversies or confusion, but may bring some answers to some of these basic questions, through providing individuals, departments, and institutions with resource information on issues relating to teaching people of faith in a higher education environment.
