The production and evaluation of learning support material to accompany selected video resource material, as part of a student centred project activity

Description

This project generated learning materials to accompany a microbiology video resource (now available on-line as a video stream from http://www.learner.org/resources/series121.html) and selected video clips/animations (available from http://www.microbelibrary.org/). A second year undergraduate undertook the project as an alternative to an industrial placement. The student reaction to the use of videos and activity sheets was evaluated.

Some of the work described below was funded by Manchester Metropolitan University Learning and Teaching Fund.
