Digital models from research to support teaching
MSc StudentsIf you are an MSc student and you want to work with us over a period of time (e.g. for undertaking a dissertation on an extreme citizen science research topic) first have a look at our Projects page and the team's research interests (People) and then contact the person whose contact details are provided below the project that interests you.

Why online learning?
Why develop online courses?
• Capacity for significant growth in student numbers in pre-
entry, PGT and CPD courses
• Opportunity to attract high-value international students who
are unable to attend campus for the full course duration
• Learning analytics provide the means to use formative
evaluation for module design and programme design
• Active online engagement of alumni in proposing and
collaborating on projects for PGT students
Why MOOCs?
