Students studying NVQ level 3 Beauty Therapy at Doncaster College are benefiting from an interactive resource that is making the learning of technical concepts easier and more enjoyable.

The resource is just one example of a range of learning support mechanisms that have been produced by the South Yorkshire e-Learning Programme to help tutors teach difficult topics in a way that engages and retains learning.

Designed to support the learning of the technical terminology in the Anatomy and Physiology unit of the NVQ, it consists of subject content plus a range of interactive exercises including; word search, hangman, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, crosswords, flashcards and labelling exercises.

Holistic Therapies programme leader Karen Carr said,
“The course is helping students learn about the fifteen systems of the body required for the level 3 exam. Being a visual and interactive resource it appeals to all learners, helping them to retain knowledge through repetitive exercises without getting bored.”
