    Author: Jesse DE, Taleff J, Payne P, Cox R, Steele LL.
    Journal: Int J Nurs Educ Scholarsh; 2006; 3():Article28. PubMed ID: 17140396.
    Abstract:
    Constructivist and adult learning theory provided the theoretical framework for reusable learning units (RLUs) developed for a Southeastern University's family nurse-practitioner and nurse-midwifery distance educational programs. Reusable learning units are an organized series of learning events that satisfy one or more interrelated learning objectives that cannot be broken down to component parts without losing semantic and pragmatic meaning. This paper describes the conceptual framework, background and history of RLUs, and collaborative efforts for development and implementation.
