Abstract
The past six months have witnessed the development and dissemination of a number of case studies of inquiry-based learning (IBL) projects supported and developed by the Centre for Inquiry-based Learning in the Arts and Social Sciences (CILASS), a Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at the University of Sheffield (www.shef.ac.uk/cilass/cases). The cases aim to provide practitioners with accessible, informative and inspiring resources that illustrate ways in which inquiry-based learning is conceptualised, designed and facilitated in different disciplinary contexts. They are intended to communicate something of the experiences of students and staff who have been involved in inquiry-based learning activities at Sheffield.

In addition to the inquiry-based learning (IBL) design overview, each case study is accompanied by a range of resources that have been created by project leaders, students or CILASS staff members in the course of the project
Summary
Inquiry-based learning facilitates student learning through a range of inquiry and research activities and approaches. The cases aim to provide practitioners with accessible, informative and inspiring resources that illustrate ways in which inquiry-based learning is conceptualised, designed and facilitated in different disciplinary contexts. They are intended to communicate something of the experiences of students and staff who have been involved in inquiry-based learning activities at Sheffield. An entry page enables cases to be searched by discipline, a keyword ‘tag cloud’ or a Google-style search feature. They are linked to (and from) the university’s own case study/ good practice wiki (good.group.shef.ac.uk/wiki/index.php/Main_Page)
