As I started to create the final project for my inquiry, I began to re-think my audience. Of course, my instructor and classmates will view my final project, but one of the potential outcomes of an inquiry is that it may lead to action. Who, then, might this inquiry motivate into action? Well, for one, it will hopefully motivate me as I re-evaluate the delivery of the curriculum. As well, though, I’m hoping to reach a wider audience: my administrator and my colleagues.
Although I see and collaborate with my DL Administrator and colleagues regularly, I hope that this product of inquiry might be something concrete from which we can spring into action. I chose this topic of inquiry because it’s an area I am genuinely concerned about. If I can see room for improvement, it’s hard to ignore. And, as a growing DL school, I think the issue raised in my inquiry, the need to provide our students with opportunities to interact with their peers, is a valid concern.
With them in mind, my inquiry has become more meaningful. At the very least, I hope my inquiry gets us thinking about and acting collaboratively on the best learning environment for our DL students.
