An Inquiry Circle is a collaborative group space in the ILF Collaboratory. It's a place where groups or teams can share resources, ideas, and experiences! Inquiry Circles can center around either:
  • Curricular Topics (i.e. water ecology, chemistry, etc...)
  • Professional Development Opportunities
  • College or university courses

Each Inquiry Circle has a facilitator who serves as the central contact person, provides new members with access to the Circle, and answers any questions.
For example, a university pre-service instructor may want to create an Inquiry Circle so that her students can connect with teachers in the field. In this instance, the instructor of the course will likely be the facilitator. On the other hand, maybe you would like to start an Inquiry Circle centered on using 3D models as the basis for inquiry in chemistry. Any ILF member can request to start and/or facilitate an Inquiry Circle.
