This document discusses the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to support inquiry-based learning (IBL) at the University of Sheffield. It received funding for around 70 projects involving close collaboration between various departments. Many projects incorporated an ICT component to support information literacy, networked learning, and collaborative inquiry. Specifically, archaeology modules used ICT for online case studies, discussion on WebCT, and collaborative group research and reporting that involved fieldwork, developing data collection tools, and using library and database resources.
