Description
Aims and Objectives
The main aim of this project was to develop physical science skills in bioscience students by:
- developing a pilot web-based template that allows interactive problem-based learning materials to be embedded within the delivery of biosciences courses
- using social networking / communities to engage students in learning and obtain feedback on the materials developed
- assessing the potential of disseminating the interactive template to the wider bioscience community to create a web-based repository of interactive problem-based learning materials
An implicit syllabus based on physical science principles and related bioscience based problems was developed. Alongside each principle and associated problem an explicit syllabus, which will develop students understanding of the problems and how to solve them using physical principles, was developed.
