Collaborative Inquiry have certain required elements, certain optional elements, and certain expectations.

All Collaborative Inquiry must include these elements:

• a focus on an open-ended multidimensional question that draws on previously developed knowledge and skills

• a capacity building component, so that students can work effectively as a member of a group or team.

• a signature project that addresses the multidimensional question

• a reflection on the Core and how it contributed to answering the multidimensional question.

Collaborative Inquiry courses may be combined with other elements of the Core, including Core attributes and required experiences.
