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.

Enquiry Based Learning in Museums: A Mechanism for gallery evaluation
This project asks the question “What is the relevance of Classics to the 21st Century?” with Manchester students to encourage debate and regeneration of Classics though enquiry-based learning. Using a mixture of field work and project planning, the student cohort will develop key transferable skills. Students will devise approaches to formal assessment and evaluation of galleries, by directing their own investigations at key cultural sites in the UK. By encouraging students to take an interest in classics we are enabling them to enquire, question and debate, to be aware of the huge influence of the ancient world on their own lives and the ways in which it has been interpreted over the years.
