Key Principals 1

• Terry Kemples rules
• All our learning starts with a problem, so we
  only want solutions to problems we already have.
• We learn by asking questions, so we want to
  participate actively in our learning.
• We are busy people so we dont want our time
  wasted.
• (BJGP March 2000)

Key Principals 2

• Learn just in time
• not just in case

Key Principals 3
