Reading materials provided electronically
This is the most common form of electronic support. Reading
material may include:
• a website or web pages for your programme.
• copies of lecture notes
• related websites or electronic journals
• Revision notes and activities
• a programme newsletter
Interactive materials
Interactive materials are expensive to produce, and are
therefore not suitable for all types of learning. They may
include:
• Programs for practicing technical skills
• interactive videos to enable you to see locations that are
expensive or difficult to visit
• Learning structured as games
• simulated case studies.
Computer-assisted assessment
Part or all your programme may be assessed through your
answering questions on a computer. Computerised
assessment is demanding: You usually need to revise more
of your coursework than for essay-based exams.
Computer-based formative assessment
Your course may offer computerised assessment for practice. If
so, you can test your knowledge and identify any aspect than
need more work.
E-communication
E-communication includes:
• email to and from tutors
• email between students
• email with students on other brogrammes
• delivery noticeboards or bulletins.
Web-cam or video links
You may be given opportunities to learn at a distance using a
camera linked to the internet, or through video links.
E-moderated learning
E-moderated learning can include discussion groups using an
electronic forum, conference or chat room. The tutor may
‘moderate’ interactions in a number of ways, including:
• setting up the forum so that relevant people can get in touch
with each other
• stimulating debate by asking key questions or offering material
for discussion
• allocating tasks to group members
• monitoring who is taking part in discussions
• contacting and supporting individuals.
Virtual learning environments
Some universities are introducing virtual or managed learning
environments (VLE or MLE) these include Web-CT, Blackboard, and
specially designed electronic environment. Such learning
environments offer a range of possibilities:
• You may be able to long onto a page that is relevant only to you.
• All content – such as social events, job opportunities, result,
records of achievement – can be managed through a single system.
• Reminders and guidance, such as lectures, event, and assignment
deadlines, can be given when you log on
• Some or all of the other activities mentioned on thispage can be
built in.
• lecturers can monitor electronically your level of activity and
involvement.
