The Inquiry Hub
Connect - Create – Learn
This is the process behind the Inquiry Hub, a new initiative by Coquitlam Open Learning and School District #43. The COL Inquiry Hub is a full-time grade 8-12 program which brings students together in a technology-facilitated environment and encourages them to explore their own questions from key themes:
* Community and global issues
* Environmental sustainability
* Media Art, design and technology
The Inquiry Hub offers the following benefits for students:
-Instruction which blends classroom and online experiences in a hybrid model
-A student-driven inquiry approach to learning
-Significant reduction of formally structured class time and emphasis on a learning commons where students do daily group project work and individual, computer-based learning
-Class environments which group students around interests and project focus rather than grade levels
-Parents and community as active learning partners
-Extensive use of peer mentorship in cross-grade project work
-Core, inquiry-based program offerings which are extended through the extensive list of COL online courses
