Resources for IBL Teaching
Materials
- Journal of Inquiry-Based Learning in Mathematics
- JIBLM is a good source for IBL course notes for college courses. You can find
complete scripts of questions for a variety of topics, with helpful instructor’s guides. [Trade Secret: the instructor’s guides distill wisdom from many years of teaching! There is a lot to learn about IBL teaching hiding in these notes.]
- Discovering the Art of Mathematics
- This is an NSF-funded project to develop variants of Mathematics for the
Liberal Arts courses in an IBL style. There are 11 different versions of
those courses available here (for free!), and lots of information and help for
new users of IBL techniques.
Mentoring and Workshops
The Academy of Inquiry Based
Learning is an organization for connecting IBL practitioners. AIBL runs
workshops every summer, and can match you with a mentor.
Blogs
These are blog sites with interesting content about teaching college Mathematics, many of which address ideas of IBL teaching in direct ways.
