with lecture materials.<\/p>\n<p>Resources are well presented, with images supporting a clear layout and helpful context throughout.&nbsp; Students value the way announcements are used to summarise important parts of the lectures and prepare them for the next session, and there are opportunities for them to ask questions through the discussion forum, including a revision session run in this way.<\/p>\n<p>Sessions are followed by interactive activities created in Articulate Storyline.&nbsp;
