To discuss education from a personal and scientific perspective.

Through listening to the presentations and reading the blogs throughout this module, I think that the following things would constitute an ideal education system. Overall, I think that a review of the national curriculum and the way in which it is taught would probably be beneficial to our education system, and necessary if any of these issues were to be incorporated. Students believe that speed is reflective of i.

At the beginning of semester, I was very sceptical and also curious about how this module was going to be successful.

There are no guidelines at the moment within the UK for time constraints spent on computers, however there is a study led by Dr .

Looking back over all the ideas brought up in this semesters class there seems to be a few common threads running through them which I think highlight the key ideas that could improve the education system as a whole.
