Talk:UNIT 1 - A Quick Review of Inquiry-Based Learning
I know that you're still working on it. You need to add links to your front page and to unit 2.
You may include hints to facilitate navigation of your pages. For example, right after the following sentence, you may add a few words like "After browsing that course, please come back to this page using the Back button of your browser."
The focus of this mini-course is not solely on what inquiry-based learning is, but rather how we can use simulations for inquiry learning. There are many very good resources on what exactly inquiry learning is including a mini-course on inquiry found here.
Objectives -- Jianwei Zhang 10:04, 22 November 2008 (EST)
By the end of this unit, participants will be able to: Understand what inquiry is What characteristic inquiry-based environments have Discriminate between inquiry and directed learning How to use inquiry methods in teaching
"...be able to" needs a verb for "what characteristics..." and "How to..."
As I read the list, objective 1, 2 and 3 are not substantially different/distinctive, so can be integrated into one. To understand "what" is to understand its characteristics and how it is different from other types of learning.
