Individual answers, then
discussion

Response to E-Learning resources
It was easy to
navigate, with all
the topics being
very clear
they provide us with a
good foundation of
knowledge to then
discuss further in the
following face-to-face
I’ve used notes
taken from blended
learning in lectures
and group work
helps to give you
the knowledge to
engage fully with
the lesson
there was always lots of
interesting links, questions
and information. I like the use
of video clips as well, they
help to keep us engaged
The more interactive
sessions with videos,
quizzes etc. were more
engaging but not all
sessions are relevant to
these mediums

10. School of Health Sciences
Response to E-Learning resources
When combined
with the seminars
they allowed us to
go and further
explore the topics
It depends how
much you put in
it enabled interesting
and thought provoking
discussions in
seminars
Blended learning really
helps to give a strong
foundation to top up in
the face-to-face
information and answers I have
made from the blended learning has
helped me understand topics more
and allows me to contribute to
lectures when we go back over it
I feel like I have
achieved something
once I have
completed a section

11. School of Health Sciences
Key points
- Dedicated Timetabled time
- Clarity on how long each section will take
- Students like short video clips & mixture of
media
- Students engaged with the tasks

12. School of Health Sciences
Moodle Lesson format
- Collect stats, see who’s engaged prior to session
- Easy to structure, and add small activities to check
understanding or prepare for session
Issues
- Students not easily able to jump around the lesson to
see reflective answers
- Language of Moodle e.g. ‘Submit’/’Grade’ is scary!
Lesson works better with short MCQs
Reflection should sit on students’ e-portfolio ideally
Data should be taken with caveats, but useful to see who
hasn’t accessed it beforehand.
