Where computer assisted learning is appropriate, support for software acquisition and software development will also be provided. In order to assist the transfer of what is learned, a professional project leader will help co-ordinate the activities of the McMaster Inquiry Project. An individual experienced in developing and disseminating educational programs will be retained. Each of the three Faculties will also have the ongoing support of a consultant - individuals seconded from McMaster's faculty ranks who have experience and expertise in teaching inquiry. Measure curriculum change within courses and, in particular, the addition of course objectives related to inquiry skills.
Measure changes in teaching strategies.
This will begin with the establishment of baseline data that are currently unavailable. Measure the influence of the McMaster Working Papers and Models disseminated as part of the project, including requests for copies, requests for presentations, subsequent publication in journals on teaching and learning, and further action research conducted by faculty who have participated in the program. Dissemination Participants in the McMaster Inquiry Project will be assisted in producing and presenting working papers or interactive learning models. We hope to publish working papers that will be distributed widely to Canadian universities. We also hope to host national symposia to facilitate the dissemination and evaluation of the project.
