Online teaching of practical science
The Open University is leading a major e-learning initiative to develop an 'OpenScience Laboratory' that will provide students and the public with opportunities to carry out science experiments and observations online. The work, funded by the Wolfson Foundation, involves national and international partners and has both teaching and research dimensions.
Applications are invited for fully funded full-time studentships associated with this initiative. The PhD projects cover a range of studies centred on e-learning, including practical science pedagogies, computing, knowledge management, data mining etc. For full descriptions of the projects available and for individual contact details please visit the following site: http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/openscience/?page_id=79
