Using EBL to improve the teaching of science, technology and innovation policy in a business school context
The proposal aims to explore the use of EBL to improve the quality of the teaching of science, technology and innovation policy studies in MBS (and thus to improve the learning outcomes and employability of students taking those courses) by building upon our strong tradition of multi-disciplinary, research-led teaching and by consolidating existing ad-hoc practice of EBL into a more systematic use of multiple teaching methods to improve recruitment and retention onto STI policy course units and pathways. The outcome will be to increase the uptake of EBL in our teaching thereby improving the quality of teaching provision. Staff and student evaluation of course units and the pathway/programme will indicate the extent to which we succeed, as will the extent to which we are able to maintain/increase student numbers and at the same time improve student learning.

Introducing EBL to second year undergraduate module Organisations, Management and Technology
By applying a robust EBL method and assessment to 2nd year undergraduate Organisations, Management and Technology, students will learn to apply their knowledge of innovation studies to investigate specific issues. In addition to exercising the students' application of their knowledge, the EBL method and assessment will contribute to their wider intellectual and transferable skills. For example, self-organisation, team work, delegation, presentation skills.
