The document discusses the role of students in designing their own inquiry processes for inquiry-based learning (IBL) and the potential for using digital tools to support this. It notes that some IBL approaches make the design process explicit for students, having them share designs with each other and teachers. Web 2.0 tools could allow students more ownership and direction over their learning experiences. However, existing design tools tend to be aimed at teachers' pedagogical planning rather than empowering students as designers. The document raises questions around developing tools specifically to support students in designing and managing their own inquiries.
