Developing multi-media resources for psychology courses, teaching observation skills for clinical training and research

Abstract

A project funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and the UK Department for Employment and Learning (DEL), called Observation Skills in Psychology, has produced new multi-media materials (by building on the previously developed fOCUS software) suitable for use in clinical skills training, undergraduate courses and research. This case study provides an insight into the development and use of multi-media materials designed to support both independent and collaborative work.
