This approach enables students to construct theoretical understanding through reflection on inquiry in the field, studio, laboratory and classroom, using real sites, community-related and employer-linked activities. CeAL was developed around communities of active learners where students and staff inquire together. A key innovative feature was the number of joint student projects with related schools in the university, and (initially) 13 HEIs in England and 10 universities overseas. The University of Gloucestershire is committed to pursuing active learning across all undergraduate/postgraduate curricula, with CeAL as the laboratory for innovation, experimentation and evaluation.
