The contribution of algebra to a shared understanding of the world and the society is vital to the development of science, technology and engineering. Thus, the teaching of algebra in schools must be maximised. This study examined the effects of blended learning (BL) and problem-based learning (PBL) instructional strategies on senior secondary…

This paper argues that dual mode provision has a critical role to play in widening participation. The mixed methods study drew on institutional records, an online survey (n = 126) and 17 semi-structured interviews to explore the participation experience of a group of distance graduates (n = 268) from a dual mode university. Derived from the…

We have developed and demonstrated the effectiveness of a set of online interactive learning modules to accompany physics courses at first- and second-year university levels.
