The document discusses inquiry-based learning and project-based learning. It provides definitions and comparisons of the two approaches. Inquiry-based learning involves asking questions, investigating problems, and actively creating and testing new knowledge. It emphasizes process over products. Project-based learning is similar but is curriculum-driven and focused on specific learning outcomes. Both aim to engage students in authentic learning experiences that mirror real-world work. The document encourages sharing ideas about online education and lists tools in Moodle that can help create collaborative learning environments.

5. “Inquiry is based on the belief that
understanding is constructed in the
process of people working and
conversing together as they pose
and solve the problems, make
discoveries and rigorously testing the
discoveries that arise in the course of
shared activity. “

6.  Inquiry is a study into a worthy question, issue,
problem or idea.
 It is the type of work that those working in the
disciplines actually undertake to create or build
knowledge.
 Therefore, inquiry involves serious engagement and
investigation and the active creation and testing of
new knowledge.

9. Questioning is the heart of
inquiry learning.
Students must ask relevant
questions and develop ways to
search for answers and
generate explanations.
Emphasis is placed upon the
process.
Teacher as activator

10. Divergent thinking is
encouraged and nurtured
as students recognize that
questions often have more
than one "good" or
"correct" answer.
Such thinking leads in
many instances to
elaboration of further
questions.

15. Nurture for growth
 Be there! Check in to the
course/community 3-4
times a day
 Ask for help from your
students

16. It is working when:
 Students ask
questions & get
answers
 Students feel valued
and their input is
important
 Absences are
noticed

collaborative learning communities best if we
are members of one.

Trying harder is impossible when you’re already trying as hard as you can.
But you can always try different” – Seth Godin
