Webinar Description
This webinar will discuss inquiry learning and will demonstrate how SuiteC makes it easier to implement this student-centered approach to teaching.
Inquiry learning is a student-centered approach to course design. Students are given a topic, question or problem to research. Through a series of structured research activities, they collect and curate relevant digital sources into a course library, analyze them for connections and relationships, share their hypotheses with each other, and collaborate to develop their own conclusions. A new learning platform, developed by UC Berkeley, called “SuiteC,” supports inquiry learning.
