Being a Student: An Ethnographic Perspective
The use of ethnography to teach a course in ethnographic methods exemplifies the project's commitment to a research-led approach to learning. Students will learn about qualitative research methods by researching their own learning and university environment. The approach will identify and challenge the students' own notions of responsibility and learning. In this way, students will learn about ethnography and will become more aware of how their own learning works.

Assessment and Enterprise through EBL
The aim is to development a robust method of assessment based upon the application of enterprise skills to an investigation. It is difficult to devise fair assessment when learning is characterised by a lack of rigid structure as in EBL. The project will develop a guiding structure for EBL assessment. This will provide some guidance and constraint to the lines of enquiry being followed and yet still allow students considerable freedom when making their investigations.

An Integrated Model of EBL in Practice
Previous development work will be evaluated using appropriate custom-designed instruments. This will help identify defining principles and describe working relationships that give access to the current experiences of students. From this the project will activate and embed EBL in the teaching programme and devise approaches to formal assessment.
