There have been many changes in approaches to teaching and learning in all education sectors in the last 5 years. In addition to the adoption of new methodologies, such as Enquiry Led Learning and Problem Based Learning, there has also been an adoption of new technologies, most especially those associated with the internet.

Methods of delivery to university based students and distance based students have varied, although an adoption of one of the many virtual or managed learning environments or bespoke web based portals has started to become common place.
