Communities of Inquiry, Communities of Practice

 

Aberystwyth University, 8-9 September 2009 

 

Communities of Inquiry, Communities of Practice is a two-day conference and proposed edited collection intended to bring together teachers and learners interested in exploring the possibilities of Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL), particularly in the humanities disciplines.

 

Supported by CILASS, this event will unite practitioners, academics, and learning technologists to showcase current learning and teaching practices, and explore new methods of encouraging and supporting IBL.
