E-learning solution
Learners need to study in their own time. Learning needs to be succinct and focused.
Content carefully chunked into manageable sections. Time required clearly highlighted. Bookmarking available.
Focus group concerns
Concern that the face to face element is removed, no feedback, or chance to hear real life examples.
Opportunities for learners to apply and test their knowledge. Instant feedback to questions.Real life examples and challenging scenario content for learners to work through and make decisions to mirror real life. E-lecture content and slide deck showing lectures by the people who present on the f2f course.
ALS manual very popular and familiar way to learn.
Design uses the manual as part of the blended solution, learners pointed to background and further reading.
Positive reaction to idea of mobile learning
Course designed to work on mobile platforms via web app for iPad, accessed through Moodle site. Separate course with design features specifically for Smartphone.

learn maths is great - it makes
it less hard work and more like a game – ‘specially as

almost exciting!’
