Online learning system can increase exam pass rates - ELIZABETH BUIE, the Herald

An online learning programme developed by a Scottish university can improve exam pass rates by almost 10%, an independent study has shown. The study, funded by the Scottish Executive, also found that the e-learning programme was so popular with pupils that they effectively use it behind their teachers' backs. The Scholar scheme – a programme for Highers and Advanced Highers which has been adopted by all Scottish education authorities – was developed by Heriot-Watt University. It was shown to improve exam performance across the ability range in an independent study by Drs Kay Livingstone and Rae Condie of the Quality in Education Centre at Strathclyde University.
