Inquiry Learning

Inquiry is at the heart of the University of Calgary's Institutional Learning Plan, and a central feature of course redesign. Instructors who want to foster inquiry in their classes put less emphasis on lectures, while incorporating more critical discourse, research and group work. Discussion and reflection are critical features of the inquiry process.

The TLC offers courses, workshops, consultation and a variety of resources that link to inquiry learning.
