Popis: University teaching in the UK stands at the threshold of major change, as the recommendations of the National Committee of Inquiry into Higher Education (Dearing Report 1997) work their way through the higher education (HE) system. In physics, the focus on student learning through flexible differentiated learning had already been given a boost in September 1995, with the establishment of the Flexible Learning Approach to Physics (FLAP). This extensive teaching resource was developed over three years by the University of Reading and The Open University as a consortium project on behalf of the HE sector. It was funded by the four UK Higher Education Funding Councils, through the Teaching and Learning Technology (TLTP) initiative. FLAP is a high quality supported self-study resource covering first year and foundation year physics and its associated mathematics. It allows physics departments to create courses of their own design and specification quickly as they respond to a diversifying and changing intake. ...
