Enquiry based learning: Characteristics of enquiry based learning

The training is essentially student oriented, focusing on group work and the use of the library, the Internet and other sources of information.
Lecturers become mediators, encouraging and supporting students so that they can take responsibility for what they learn and how they are learning.
Students reach a point where they not only investigate others proposed questions but can formulate their research topics and turn their research into useful knowledge.
Students acquire not only a deeper understanding of the subject, but also the knowledge creation and leadership skills needed to solve complex problems that arise in the real world.
