Abstract

This document reports on a study of the effectiveness of a basic botany unit (N265 Plant Diversity), which has been enhanced by online support materials. A WebCT site was developed to provide digital access to materials studied in practical sessions. Whereas previously, students only saw practical material once, now they have access to high quality, colour images, to study at their leisure.

The results reported in this report provide an insight into the conduct of a tertiary Biology unit and the use of online technology to improve student learning.
