The Swastika Symbol GLOMultiple Meanings: the Swastika Symbol
The swastika is an ancient symbol that has been used for over 3,000 years. Historians disagree on the birthplace and purpose of the Swastika. Commonly the origin is thought to be in Mesopotamia, and from this country it spread to many other cultures. Examine the evidence from multiple countries in order to establish your own opinion.

Rylands Papyrus 12Rylands Greek papyrus 12
This tutorial is designed to explore a variety of interpretations of a single artefact from three different disciplinary perspectives (History, Papyrology - study of papyrus documents, and Museum Studies). It is intended to promote reflection on what physical objects can tell us about the past, and an appreciation of the insights about the item and its wider historical context by considering an object from more than one disciplinary perspective.

Stonemasons Marks GLOThe Use, Meaning and Origins of Stonemasons Marks
Mason’s marks can be found on stone buildings where the stone is taken to a high degree of finish, but the date of the introduction
of this practice has yet to be established. What is remarkable about these marks is how widespread their use is. Indeed they have
been found in virtually all countries. The marks open many fascinating lines of study and of speculation.

These 5 GLOs were developed in a project led by Janet Tatlock within the Combined Studies Centre at The University of Manchester, with funding from the LearnHigher CETL.

Students at University are required to develop interpretive skills: to study different views; decide which they agree or disagree with, and provide reasons for their decisions. Because of the breadth of related disciplines within Combined Studies students are required to be become familiar with a range of approaches and methodologies. The GLO format promotes not only the consideration of views within a discipline but can also be used to encourage students to view objects/text/issues from multidisciplinary perspectives thereby encouraging and supporting one of the key strengths of a combined degree programme.

Screen shot from the Bromobutane GLOThe laboratory preparation of Bromobutane
Developed by Fergal Corscadden, CETL Coordinator / Educational Developer, Stranmillis University College, Belfast.
I am developing LO's for Lumen Christi College, Derry. These LO's are being produced to help A-Level students grasp traditionally difficult Chemistry experiments. The first of these, is a LO focusing on the laboratory preparation of Bromobutane. In this LO, I recorded the experiment in the school laboratory with the chemistry teacher, Dr. Marie Ferris. I then edited the video and we then recorded the audio to accompany the video and included a link to supporting materials within the LO, to the CETL website. Please have a look at this simple, yet effective LO at Lumen ChristiWebsite.
