"The focus of the group was to engage in a pedagogic discourse to consolidate excellent practice and lead to an articulation of the principles and nature of that practice in such a way as to support other institutions that wish to develop similar provision. Case study contributions are connected by a primary concern for meeting the needs of the work-based learner and by a philosophy that broadly speaking respects the learner and their capacity to make a significant contribution to the design and management of their own learning. This learner-centred approach can create tension within the contributors' own higher education institutions as well as with employers both of which may be more familiar with determining themselves what a learning programme should contain. Positive ways in which the contributors have worked to diminish these tensions are part of the unfolding story."
