Abstract

Recent changes at UTS have resulted in a less structured Applied Physics course with many more electives than in the past. Although most students are content to choose electives from outside the Department, some students want to pursue Advanced Physics subjects in areas of particular interest to them, but which cannot be offered by the Department because of restrictions on minimum class sizes. Consequently UTS Physics has set up a subject, taught by flexible delivery, using material available on the Web, but assessed in-house. This paper reports on:

  • an investigation of the legal status of material placed on the Web and the likely effect of recent legislation designed to protect Intellectual Property;
  • the availability of suitable web courses; and
  • different strategies for assessing subjects involving flexible learning, such as email discussion groups and reflective diaries.
