This blended learning resource contains interactive self-study content covering the way in which the selection of materials or components is influenced by a range of factors such as functional, aesthetic, environmental, availability, cost, social, cultural and ethical. The resource is designed to complement traditional face-to-face teaching with an online learning pack that allows students to learn at their own pace.
It can be used as revision by students, as part of catch-up or for flipped learning.
It should not be seen as a way to deliver the content in a classroom setting and should always be blended with conventional methods.
