Encouraging student use of feedback, reflection and engagement through web-based learning support

In this article, we describe an ongoing collaboration between the University of the West of England (UWE) and Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI) to develop web-based learning support for students on mathematics-related courses at University. The collaboration started in 2004, with a grant from the Gatsby Charitable Foundation. This funding enabled web-based resources, originally developed by MEI for use by the Further Mathematics Network, to be reviewed, adapted and tailored (including new texts being written) to meet the needs of first year engineering students attending a traditional lecture course at University.
