Learning Model
Pedagogy
As indicated in the About section, the pedagogy adopts a constructivist, experiential, reflective and expansive basis for learning & teaching practice in work focussed learning. Online facilitation of work-focused action researchers, draws on several pedagogies and practices, such as grouping students in small action learning sets, peer assessment, blogging, and students encouraged to use patchwork media assessment rather than the traditional written text submissions.

As an inquiry based/action research student you fit university around your life by making work the focus of your study
Learning Facilitators
The model makes radically different demands on teaching staff, who are named 'learning facilitators' to underline the differences. Their tasks are outlined below. This makes recruitment, career development and concepts of identity challenging for a typical academic institution.
