The Flexible Learning Approach to Physics:FLAP

Abstract

Major changes in the teaching of physics at university are already underway and more are imminent. These are driven by the need to accommodate changes in schools and to effect the planned general expansion of the higher education sector. The Flexible Learning Approach to Physics (FLAP) is one major response to this situation.
