Paper Abstract:
|
Over the past two years there have been several drivers for change at Leeds Metropolitan University, including the
Universitys Assessment, Learning and Teaching strategy. In the Faculty of Innovation North (INN), this has led to the
restructuring of the curriculum and, in many cases, a need for more flexible and versatile learning resources.
This paper discusses these drivers and outlines how the web development modules have successfully addressed these by
providing versatile learning objects, convenient development tools, stimulating assessments and an effective use of an elearning
platform. Evidence of success is provided through student feedback, improved retention and progression
statistics, employability and a growing external interest in the Facultys courses. |
