Abstract
In computer science, as well as in other disciplines, it is critical to the success of the educational process that students become actively engaged with the material, rather than passive recipients of it. Ideally, this interaction will begin
before
the class meets on a particular topic, in a process known as
inquiry-based learning
. This paper describes some initial experiments with using technology to implement an inquiry-based learning paradigm.
