Using Participatory Image Based Research to Inform Teaching and Learning about Inclusion in Education
Images can play an important role in developing skills in critical reflection, both in schools and universities. Working with school students to take their own photographs as a way of exploring their school and its culture has great potential as an EBL approach. As such, University students in Education stand to gain invaluable skills in learning and engaging with this participatory methodology. This project will engage with six LEAs in the North-West to develop a 15 credit course unit which will also be available as an online resource. Aspects of the unit will be piloted in the second semester with PGCE students.

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.

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.

Learning about Patient Safety and error from tutors and peers: What can students learn from asking tutors about error?
To develop an 8 week module that uses enquiry as a central tool in sharing learning experiences involving both system and personal error. Phase 1 will explore the potentials and drawbacks of student enquiry about personal error. Phase 2 will explore the integration of inter-personal learning with clinicians alongside student led enquiry into systems error. The intended outcome is to develop an effective Enquiry-Based Learning method that uses the apprenticeship model in conjunction with recognised tools, group work and reflective writing to meet a range of Patient Safety ILOs.

Enhancing Postgraduate Employability through EBL: Academia-Industry Collaboration in Subtitler Training
This project will develop a new EBL component for delivery of subtitler training on the MA in Translation and Interpreting Studies with a view to bridge the academic/professional divide and enhance the employability of postgraduate trainees. The project seeks to encourage a research-based approach to the management of professional performance within a highly client-centred fragmented industry.
