Managing Inquiry-based Learning: Learning from experiencecilass.slideshare
We have taught a suite of inquiry-based learning modules for the past 20 years. Two problems that have occurred frequently are that the students can be poor at organising their schedules and setting deadlines, whilst at the same time we have moved towards marking schemes which are focused on process applied rather than product produced. These two factors have mandated that the students need to provide evidence that they are planning and following the process that has been set. To support this we have introduced a suite of custom support software.

This document discusses learner autonomy and enquiry-based learning (EBL). It defines an autonomous learner as someone who independently chooses their learning goals, methods, and criteria for evaluation. Effective autonomous learners have appropriate conceptions of learning, intrinsic motivation, and skills for managing information and their learning. EBL involves students determining their own lines of inquiry to pursue knowledge. When using technology to support EBL, factors to consider include the appropriateness of tools, availability of resources, and not overburdening workload. Academic staff can be encouraged to engage with technology by providing peer support, ensuring tools have clear purposes, and equipping them with strategies for appropriate usage.

Critical appraisal of the public presentation of psychology - CILASS Staff St...cilass.slideshare
This document outlines a 3-tiered approach for students to critically evaluate how psychology is presented publicly. Students searched BBC news articles, found related scholarly articles, and reflected on the process. Postgraduate tutors noted that while students were skilled searchers, guidance on information literacy and modeling the full task would be beneficial. Overall, the approach provided a positive learning experience for both undergraduate and postgraduate students by incorporating different teaching methods and linking research to teaching.

Strategi aproaches to Information Literacy Development: a CETL perspectivecilass.slideshare
1) CILASS is a 5-year £4.5M programme funded by HEFCE to promote inquiry-based learning impacting over 10,000 students in arts, social sciences, and law.
2) Inquiry-based learning involves student-directed, open-ended inquiry on problems and cases at an appropriately scaled level. It develops capabilities for scholarship and employability.
3) Information literacy is a key theme for CILASS and involves working with partners like the library and information studies department to embed information literacy training and assess competencies using the SCONUL seven pillars model.
CILASS works to develop inquiry-based learning (IBL) at the University of Sheffield through curriculum development projects and learning spaces. IBL approaches involve self-directed student inquiry using techniques like case studies and problem-based learning. Information literacy is key to IBL, equipping students with skills to independently conduct research and develop knowledge. CILASS promotes information literacy through various initiatives like workshops, an information literacy network, and audits to identify how departments can enhance skills development. The goal is to embed information literacy into IBL curriculum design.

This document discusses staff-student partnerships in academic research. It describes a project investigating how students in the arts and social sciences use technology for inquiry-based learning. Students were involved from the initial bid stage and formed a student ambassador network and working groups to engage in the research process. The research aims to understand how students use technology for formal and informal inquiry learning. It also examines issues of power, whose benefit the research serves, and whether students are "good enough" partners in academic research.

Inquiry-based learning with Papyri and Manuscripts - Kate Cooper and Jamie Wo...cilass.slideshare
The document discusses using inquiry-based learning with Greek and Latin papyri and manuscripts. It proposes developing "generative learning objects" (GLOs) that allow students to engage with physical manuscripts and papyri through alternative, inquiry-based methods. Initial findings show that existing GLOs are engaging but limited for open-ended inquiries. However, many low-tech projects in fields like museology, Egyptology and classics successfully use objects to engage students in research. Advice is sought on how GLOs or other methods could be used to work with manuscripts and papyri at the master's level.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
