Abstract

Activity Led Learning (ALL) strategies were adopted to improve the students' engagement, pass rate and most importantly learning experience for a first year Electrical and Electronic Engineering module which caters for a large mixed student cohort. To implement ALL, a new method of delivery, enabled using three key learning technologies, was adopted. The number of formal lectures was reduced and replaced with interactive tutorials as well as additional computer based laboratory sessions.
