Recognise or recognising?

Hi. Which do I use here, recognise or recognising? And can you tell me why? Thanks

Sentence:

Email exchange enables students to discover how language works, as well as recognise/recognising their main weakness.

The scope of the infinitival to extends to the verb recognise , thus: ... enables students to discover how language works as well as (to) recognise their main weakness. You wouldn't have (to) recognising there.
