Excellence in Work-Based Learning for Education Professionals (WLE)

Co Directors: Dr. Norbert Pachler & Prof. Karen Evans
Assistant Director: Caroline Daly

The WLE Centre is a HEFCE-funded initiative to encourage excellence and innovation in Higher Education.

The Centre aims to develop new approaches in work-based learning.

Firstly through facilitating innovations in:

• learning at work and through professional practice
• teaching and assessment modes for work-related and work-located learning 
• uses of e-learning and digital technologies

Secondly by developing new conceptual and theoretical approaches to work-based learning.

The development of this research and innovation dynamic feeds into the flourishing teaching community at the Institute, and beyond in its partner institutions, creating synergies, contributing to a better understanding of work-based learning and generating new practices in teaching, learning and assessment.
