Enquiry-based learning closes the gap between theory and practice by asking students to actively engage with ideas or topics, investigating and questioning as they build knowledge. In simple terms, it is learning by doing. The Open University is pioneering enquiry-based learning in which students meet virtually once a fortnight with a facilitator via Adobe Connect in small groups consisting of seven to 10 students. Students will typically be employed in practice while studying, so they should be encouraged to bring examples from their on-the-job experience to help them efficiently match the theory and practice and spark discussion in the wider group.
