Chemistry FM
The University of Lincoln's first-year undergraduate forensic science programme is freely available to all online
Later this month, the University of Lincoln will make available, on a dedicated website the entire chemistry module from the University's first-year undergraduate forensic science programme. In doing this, Lincoln joins the growing number of universities around the world that is making teaching and learning materials freely available to all under the banner of 'open educational resources' (OER) for use and re-use.
Supported by the Higher Education Academy (HEA) and the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), and funded through the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), the project was originally dubbed Chemistry FM because, as Joss Winn, technology officer in the University's Centre for Education Research, told Education in Chemistry, 'We wanted to experiment and find out whether we could use the campus-based local radio station, Siren Radio, to promote the publicly available course materials'.
