The A level syllabus is the most accepted qualification for secondary education in the UK. It also, in my opinion, has one the largest volumes of material to learn of any course I have come across. Ebooks provide an excellent step forward in student led learning, which is particularly applicable to the A Level syllabus. For AS Biology (AQA Exam Board), which is so wide ranging, and requires a student to gain an in depth knowledge of the subject, ebooks are a major resource.
An ebook enables a student to;
- access all of the materials needed for the whole syllabus (in a light accessible form),
- search easily for particular words or topics, which is crucial in answering questions and background research for practical investigations,
- to learn from many diagrams, illustrations and animations that can all be enlarged,
- sections can be compared, and notes prepared for printing.
This book is written by an ex-university lecturer and experienced biology teacher currently delivering the AS and A2 syllabus in the UK.
