“…As researchers (Dennen & Bonk, 1999;Lim, 2004;Lim, Plucker, & Bichelmeyer, 2003;Pierce, 2003) suggest, students who use these approaches to facilitate inquiry receive better support in record keeping, reflective writing, collaborative brainstorming, web pages designing, search skills developing, and perform self-directed inquiry through remote access to many types of resources.…”

Wiki use may help EFL instructors to create an effective learning environment for inquiry-based language teaching and learning. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of wikis on the EFL learners' IBL process. Fortynine EFL students participated in the study while they conducted research projects in English. The Non-wiki group (n=25) received traditional inquiry instruction and the Wiki group (n=24) received wiki-mediated instruction during their IBL process. Data were collected through surveys at the stages of pre-search, exploration, and completion of the IBL activity. The instruments sought to measure differences in knowledge accumulation, as well as the challenges students encountered during their inquiry process. The results revealed that the use of wikis can provide support to (a) help students go beyond information accumulation and regurgitation of facts and move toward generating more integrated and synthesized knowledge representations and (b) address the challenges of traditional IBL including planning the tasks, organizing multiple resources, managing the inquiry process, and coordinating the final product. According to the results of the survey, wikis can constitute a dynamic forum that keeps students engaged in staging the sequences of structured inquiry process and improve ability to perform inquiry-based tasks in an efficient manner.

“…At the same time, instructors encourage, sometimes require, students to create Web pages or post content to Web pages (like presentations or writings) as assignments or assessment. For example, it has been embraced as a constructivist activity in education programs, used in the service of learning other topics like technology integration in teaching (Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 2000;Hofstetter, 2006;Koehler & Mishra, 2005;Leahy & Twomey, 2005) or even learning theory (Lim, Plucker, & Bichelmeyer, 2003). Some computer science courses even expect students to complete Web development or programming projects for assignments despite the department not teaching these topics (Stepp et al, 2009).…”

“…(Ariga & Watanabe, 2008, p. 815) It has become imperative at the college level to have a course taught in the area of HTML, HyperText Markup Language and web-design. (Mull, 2001, p. 1) Statements like these permeate Web design literature, likely as a way to transition the topic beyond a 'software training' stigma (Walker, 2002) and to encourage use of Web design as a student-centered learning activity (Hofstetter, 2006;Lim et al, 2003;Mackey & Ho, 2005;Niess et al, 2008). Technology-centric fields such as instructional technology or engineering sometimes go so far as to advocate entire programs of study or even a new academic field to address Web design (Hadjerrouit, 2005;Krunić et al, 2006;Victor, 2002;Wang & McKim, 2013;Whitehead, 2002).…”

Byung-Ro LimByung-Ro Lim is an assistant professor of the Graduate School of Education at Kyung Hee University in South Korea. He works as a co-director of the Center for Teaching and Learning at Kyung Hee University which conducts research on teaching and learning strategies and instructional design. His research includes design and development of online content, inquiry-based learning, instructional design, teacher professional development, diffusion of innovative technology, technology integration into curriculum, and educational reform. He has published extensively in many professional journals and is an active member of KSET (Korean Society of Educational Technology) and many other professional organisations. AbstractThe purpose of this study is to discuss major issues in designing inquiries on the web. Instructional designers face a lot of difficulties and challenges to deal with in the course of designing inquiry experiences for learners in the online environment, a complex and ill-structured learning environment. Facilitating inquiry or using an inquiry-based learning approach on the web has both advantages and disadvantages. Instructional designers need to acknowledge the design issues arising in each and every phase of the design process. Utilising appropriate design strategies, instructional designers can provide positive learning experiences for their online learners. For this purpose, three representative cases in the context of teacher professional development were examined and six major issues were identified as follows: (1) seeking a balance between a system-generated guide and human facilitator, (2) visual representation of the inquiry process, (3) motivating learners with the right question, (4) engaging learners in various learning activities, (5) guiding the inquiry process with various scaffolds, and (6) maximising learning by coordinating resources, tools and the community of inquiry. This study explains each issue in great detail and provides possible guides for instructional designers to handle the issue.
