They found that the ‘technology canhave a profound impact on learning if it is used in a way that capitalizes on its unique ability to“interact” with students, provide them with immediate feedback, and facilitate interactionsamong students and between students and teaching staff.’ There was evidence that femalestudents benefited even more than males.Hedgcock and Rouwenhorst 9 looked at feedback in the context of using student responsesystems (or “clickers”) in business and marketing classes.

Multiple objectives for this pilot included: to improve the department’s typical passagerate of 59% for this course; to improve students’ retention rate; to shorten students’ time-to-degree; to improve the quality of the content of the course; and to reduce the prerequisitecontribution for successful passage of subsequent courses.

However one of the problems oftenassociated with distance learning material is lack of immediate feedback. However many effortshave been made in physics teaching in this respect. One such system has been described byWhitlock et al13. In this study learners solved physics problems by working at a distance via acomputer network and an audio link via pre and posttest analysis. The necessary physicsmaterial could be part of the standard lectures though this could detract from the main aim of thecourse and may also be inappropriate for students with a

An example of an objective for each category is given in thefollowing.• Attitudes: Students must accept responsibility for their education, including using all resources and requesting assistance when needed.• Skills: Students need to be capable learners; they should be able to set objectives, learn and teach material, and evaluate their own learning.• Knowledge: Students need mastery of a substantial body of
