| This paper discusses experiences in moving to lecture-free teaching for a systems analysis module taught on- |
| campus. It describes the action research approach and the context for the module. It discusses the learning |
| materials provided as an alternative to lectures, including the description of a website in some detail. The initial |
| lecture-free teaching approach is explained and how changes to that practice were made during the operation of the |
| module. Student feedback by questionnaire is analysed, concen-trating on the learning materials, the teaching |
| approach and the advantages and disadvantages. Staff re-flections and lessons learnt are considered under the same |
| headings. Conclusions are drawn and further work proposed. |
| Key words: systems analysis, student-centred learning, action research, teaching styles |
