Student Voice Conference 25th March 2009
On 25th March 2009 University of Manchester students came together to share their experiences of Enquiry-Based Learning at the Student Voice Conference, organised by the CEEBL Student Interns.
The event was an opportunity for students from across the University to share and reflect on their experiences of Enquiry-Based Learning, to support other students through the process and to inspire staff with their suggestions and ideas. The conference included 10 student presentations, 9 student posters, a ‘talking wall’ and a variety of workshops and discussions aiming to give students many varied opportunities to share both their positive and negative experiences of EBL, as well as to provide constructive criticism as a means to influence the support and delivery of EBL at the University.
