Learning for a Complex World: Facilitating Enquiry. The 2007 ANNUAL CONFERENCE of the Learning through Enquiry Alliance to be held at SCEPTrE, University of Surrey, 25-27 June 2007

Building on the successful 2006 Learning Through Enquiry Alliance conference in Manchester, this residential conference will bring together diverse perspectives on enquiry based learning to provide rich experience for participants, including ‘master classes’ in facilitating enquiry .

Conference themes relate to:

Disciplinary Enquiry - approaches used to engage students in collaborative enquiry in any disciplinary, curriculum or learning context.

Work as Enquiry - forms of enquiry and how they are facilitated in professional, organisational and work-related settings and how these might be used in higher education.

Student Voice - what students think about their experiences of enquiry in different learning contexts.

Using Technology to Facilitate Collaborative Enquiry – a cross-cutting conference theme.

The  conference will provide an opportunity for academic staff, educationalists, information professionals and e-learning specialists to explore enquiry-based learning, and investigate strategies used to develop learner capability.
