Improving the PBL Experiences for First Year Nurses
Staff contact with students will be modified to bring about a change in stimulus for learning. Variations in students' backgrounds results in some feeling unchallenged whilst others are confused, discouraged and fall behind. This along with a full curriculum, leads to tutors falling back into a didactic approach to facilitation. The new weekly format will offer an introductory lecture and time for students to undertake some self study before they come together for group discussions around a PBL case.

Manchester Access Programme: EBL Masterclasses
This project aims to engage non-traditional FE students with the process of enquiry-based learning through a series of masterclasses. The masterclasses will focus on the theme of sustainability and will touch on various curriculum areas. The masterclasses will be facilitated by trained University of Manchester students and will take place in Spring 2006. Year 12 students participating in the masterclasses are involved in a wider series of activities aimed to support and encourage their application to The University of Manchester. Involvement with the Centre for Excellence in Enquiry-Based Learning at a pre-University level will benefit both the institution and the students by better preparing them for the alternative learning and teaching methods practiced at the University.
