ILF Registration: Overview

Who may register?

You may become a member of the Inquiry Learning Forum if you are one of the following:

• Indiana math or science teacher, grades 6-12
• Preservice math or science teacher, grades 6-12 attending a college or university in Indiana
• University faculty/instructor working with preservice math or science teachers at a college or university in Indiana

What does registration entail?

The ILF Registration Form consists of the following pages:

• Personal Information
• Work Information
• Your Interests
• Computer Information
• Research Consent Form
  (when you become a member of the ILF, you also agree to be part of a research study on building online communities of practice)

Why so much?

Two reasons, really.

1. A major component of the Internet Learning Forum is a research project about building online communities of practice. Getting a clear understanding of who the users are and basic demographic information about each is extremely helpful in establishing baseline data for the research aspect of the project.
2. Future versions of the site will include spaces customized around users' expressed interests. Knowing specific interest areas will help us to revise and grow the ILF to better suit your needs.

How long will it take?

We estimate it will take you approximately 10 minutes to finish the entire registration form. After your registration form has been submitted, it will take us approximately 24 hours to process your registration. Because students (minors) appear in the videos of classroom teaching, we must be diligent in making sure that those with access to the site have a legitimate reason for being there. Usually, this requires verifying your teaching status in some way. You will receive an e-mail confirmation when your registration has been approved and your account has been activated.
