nQuire: Personal Inquiry Learning platform

Share this project

nQuire is a free open source platform based on Personal Inquiry Learning which allows teachers and learners to carry out scientific investigations and share their findings with the nQuire community.

nQuire is a joint project between The Open University and The University of Nottingham, as part of the UK’s Teaching and Learning Research Programme, TEL. It is integrated with the Open University’s OpenScience Lab to make practical science widely available online. The three-year project was funded by the UK Economic and Social and Engineering and Physical Science Research Councils (ESRC & EPSRC).

The nQuire web-platform supports inquiry-based learning of science topics in formal and non-formal settings including classrooms, homes and discovery centres. Following a scripted inquiry learning process, pupils between the ages of 11 and 14 are guided through devising and planning scientific experiments, collecting and analysing data and discussing results.
