Building a cross-disciplinary team – experiences from a work-based learning CETL

This chapter explores how the Centre of Excellence in Work Based Learning (CEWBL) at Middlesex University worked within subject disciplines to extend negotiated work-based learning across the University. It discusses how the CEWBL developed an inter-disciplinary team of ‘WBL co-ordinators’. It also reviews the experiences and lessons learned by the co-ordinators as they sought to integrate WBL within their own very varied subject areas. The chapter focuses on practical achievements and challenges, rather than on problematising WBL itself, its necessity, desirability or its methods.
