Physics IT Workshop

The School of Physics is actively engaged in looking at the way in which physics is being taught around the world. The recent rapid changes in technologies are pointing to the web being a prime delivery medium for content of the discipline, assessment of student performance and communication between students and staff.

The School of Physics, in conjunction with UniServe Science, hosted an IT Workshop on June 11 for all staff interested in web teaching. The program was set by Brian James from the School of Physics and the UniServe Science team.
