Learner Involvement

Why Involve Learners?
Consulting with learners is an effective way of improving your learning service

"recognise those aspects of learning that learners identify as being both in their interests and of interest to them. Without this, any system to fund, inspect or manage achievement will be significantly poorer and at risk of failure."

(Turner & Watters, 2001:2)
