Enthusing and Engaging Legal Researchers

This project aimed to use collaborative learning and social software to encourage learners to engage more in a module which traditionally they felt was of little value to them.  The approach required learners to take more ownership of the process of exploring different research methods and to reflect on the effectiveness of those methods, individually and in groups.

This project focussed on the following TESEP principles:

  • encouraging learners to be as active as possible
  • personalising learning
  • encouraging social and collaborative learning
  • ensuring regular feedback and self-diagnosis
  • Using technology effectively to enhance learning.
