Adapting mathtutor for the life sciences Vicki Tariq Faculty of Health, UCLAN

Maths in Biosciences Project 1. Develop video-led, multimedia e-learning resources to support post-GCSE students in the life sciences –adapting the mathtutor model & adopting its technologies –using a contextual, problem-based learning model 2. Identify & evaluate strategies for integrating their use in learning environments 3. Investigate their impact on mathematical competencies & transferability of skills

1. Establish the context  student presented with a case study/scenario (video documentary, narration & set of notes)  at level appropriate for student’s current state of knowledge & understanding of biology  motivate student to want to learn the maths 2. Allow reflection & provide additional information  student reflects on existing knowledge & skills (biological & mathematical)  uses diagnostic maths tests  receives additional information & help (video tutorials & extended notes)

3. Provide opportunity to handle information & apply to new contexts  student uses knowledge & skills to solve current problem  applies knowledge & skills in new contexts (practice exercises & new case studies)  student encouraged to make connections & link theory to practice
