While at the University of Alberta I was in involved in pioneering web-based instruction in the Faculty of Education. In my work on online and web-based learning and I developed an approach to learning called Inquisivistism. My research has demonstrated that Inquisitivism is as an effective approach for web-based instruction as well as most other forms of inquiry based learning. This approach is at the foundation of many web-based courses that have developed, facilitated and instructed in a blended or fully online format at several institutions across North America.
