Welcome to CILASS
"Modelling the process of research within the student learning experience"
CILASS is a Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL), awarded to the University by HEFCE in recognition of existing excellence in IBL in the Faculties of Arts, Social Sciences and Law. CILASS is committed to supporting further development and innovation in IBL, with the aim of embedding inquiry at the heart of the student learning experience in the University. In particular, CILASS promotes IBL that involves students in discipline-based and inter-disciplinary collaborative inquiries, develops students´ information literacy capabilities, and uses information and communications technologies imaginatively to enhance the learning experience.
