Why was Education Technology used to solve problems in learning and teaching?

The Faculty of Science has many innovative applications of education technology which have been used to solve problems in learning and teaching. The following are some case studies on what has been and can be done. Each case study has been divided into the following sections: analysis of the problem, design, development, implementation, evaluation and advice to others. It is hoped that this will demonstrate the process which was involved.

Case Study	Academic	Problems
Case Study 1:	Professor Jean Cross - School of Safety Science	How can I make distance students feel less isolated? How can I accommodate all students in a multidiscipline course? How can I make the course more authentic?
Case Study 2:	Geoff Hyde - BEES	How can I teach students to use image analysis software? How can I make my course realistic and engaging? How do I interest students in my research area?
Case Study 3:	Nerissa Lee - BABS	How can I make my classes more fun and have more variety in the courses? How can I update outdated material?

Further case studies will be added in the future. Many thanks to those who have already contributed to this section. If you have any comments regarding these case studies or if you would like to contribute to this section please contact Michelle Kofod.
