The distance learning option utilises our uniquely developed Interactive Learning Environment (ILE) which consists of a CD or DVD-ROM containing an executable lecture application and its associated resources – including slides, videos and bookmarks.
In addition, you will also receive an iPod that is loaded with the part-one lectures.
Each lecture has some or all of the following:
- Video of the lecturer and synchronised slides
- An interactive list of slides (bookmarks) - clicking a bookmark accesses that portion of the lecture;
- Software demonstrations played back in a window automatically launched from the lecture;
- A student bookmark feature - students can add bookmarks to a lecture for future review;
- Student notes feature - each student bookmark has an associated notes field;
- Exit point memory - the lecture will re-start where the student left off when the ILE is restarted.
