Working and Learning: Developing Effective Performance at Work

This case study describes the course module BU130 which provides an introduction to the skills of work-based learning (WBL). This module provides a stimulating link between degree study and day-to-day working life with the chance for learners to study issues that are particularly relevant to their work or home life. WBL changes the way learners can study and focuses their attention on the question 'Will this work?' At a practical level studying through WBL enables learners to lighten their study workload as they can locate some perhaps much of their learning within their day-to-day job.
