Medical Assessment via EBL
The integration of a new self-assessment function will capitalise on the MedLea Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), which provides online resources for electronic PBL casebooks in order to support EBL. The new function (MAEBL) will enable students to contribute to a sustainable, formative self-assessment resource as well as enhance their own understanding of the subject of study.

Conversion of an MSc Module in Physiological Measurements to EBL
This project will convert the conventionally taught 12 week 'Physiological Measurement's module into a Problem-Based Learning module. This module combines engineering knowledge and medical knowledge pertaining to vital sign monitoring; the latter part is similar to Nursing curriculum while the first part is akin to Electronic Engineering modules. It is intended that the final converted module will be of a multidisciplinary nature which could be effectively utilised by both Engineering and Nursing students as well as the MSc students targeted in this particular module. It is the intention to map the learning objectives (the existing curriculum) to an MCQ evaluation test and hence satisfy the requirement of curriculum coverage while at the same time ensuring that the learning process remains open ended.

Developing personal professionalism and career awareness early in the medical curriculum through Enquiry-Based Learning
A recent report on Medical Professionalism highlights the need to define 'career journeys', embed a commitment to professionalism and foster understanding of inter-professional roles. This project will establish an enquiry led educational framework to promote self awareness and professional development in phase 1 medical students. Using EBL tools we aim to encourage understanding of health professional roles and help students explore their own suitability for a career pathway.

Does the Progress Test support and encourage EBL? A study of students’ preparation for the test in two medical school which use Problem-Based Learning
This comparative and evaluative project will take place in Manchester and Peninsula Medical School who both use PBL as the main method of learning. The Progress Test is a multiple-choice paper which is administered to medical students in all year groups simultaneously and assesses the objectives of the entire education programme in the hope of discouraging the ‘pass and forget’ mentality prevalent in other assessments. A better understanding of students’ preparation for the Progress Test will enable redesign of the assessment if necessary, in order to ensure constructive alignment and support deeper learning.
