Original format was four three hour workshops plus 18 hrs self paced course work using interdisciplinary written and verbal skills training tasks . Translate a peer reviewed Journal paper to communicate it to a interdisciplinary audience and prepare a short presentation. It was enhanced with the introduction of a peer-learning component by dividing participants into four groups of eight. A project orientated and problem based learning (POPBL) approach has been shown to work well in the delivery of educational outcomes and also in the delivery of Information Literacy
