it contains;• Arrange them in the order with which

you agree with them; and• Be prepared to feedback on some of

The TILL-CILASS project

What we want to do is: • enhance and embed inquiry-based learning in the

wide range of TILL’s activities.

We want to do it by:• sharing the IBL-influenced learning and teaching

we already do;• supporting and developing that good practice;

and • developing new ideas for learning and teaching

together.

IBL-enhanced modules in 08/09

• Geology of the British Landscape• Introduction to Local Studies• Archaeology of Death, Burial and

Ritual• Investigating Contemporary French

Texts• Landscape Mapping in Archaeology

New TILL IBL modules

In 08/09• Constructing an Exhibition (Level

Two)

In 09/10• Perspectives in Digital Culture (Level

Three)

The TILL staff-student module development panel

• Consisting of (around) 6 students and 6 hourly-paid tutors;

• Commenting on and informing the amendment and development of IBL modules in TILL;

• A great opportunity to contribute to the module development process, and to have a greater say in what TILL does.

Technology and IBL

In your small groups:• Decide what questions you want to ask

about IBL and technology; and• Record those on a whiteboard.

• Pass the whiteboard to another group; and

• Sketch out some answers to one another’s questions.
