  6. Enquiry Based Learning • Learning is essentially student-centred, with an emphasis on group work and use of library, web and other information resources. • Lecturers become facilitators, providing encouragement and support to enable the students to take responsibility for what and how they learn. • Students reach a point where they are not simply investigating questions posed by others, but can formulate their own research topics and convert that research into useful knowledge. • Students gain not only a deeper understanding of the subject-matter, but also the knowledge-development and leadership skills required for tackling complex problems that occur in the real world.
