h-FLAP, Reading
Reading is
developing h-FLAP, an electronic resource based on the FLAP paper text
resource developed during 1992-96. The
coverage includes physics and its associated mathematics from entry A-Level to
the end of the first year of a university physics degree course. h-FLAP will
be a hyper-linked multimedia product with strategic links within modules,
between modules and the hyper-Glossary and, through the Glossary, to other
modules. It is designed for screen
use and has a range of educational features to optimise it for this purpose.
It uses Adobe Acrobat pdf files that are screen friendly.
Navigation is achieved without scrolling.
It embeds all relevant tables, figures and equations alongside each
element of text. The resource will
also be made multimedia, with audio, video and computer simulations to aid
learning.
As an application
of the resource a Foundation Programme will be designed for face-to-face or
distance delivery. This may be used
for intending physicists or engineers and may be used in self-study as 'resource
only' or in conjunction with institutional support, assessment and
accreditation. A student attaining
a credit in the programme will be qualified to proceed into a degree course in
physics or engineering.
The PPLATO
interface will be designed at Reading. This
will allow users to access all parts of the PPLATO resource, as produced by the
Partner sites, and allow teachers to construct a course plan to their own
design, using PPLATO and any other resources of their choice.
A development version
demo of
h-FLAP is available for viewing, please note that only maths modules M1.1
to M1.3 and physics modules P2.1 and P2.6 are available. Selecting other
modules will result in an error. sample
h-FLAP is available here. If you have problems you can also download
the full sample [6.55
