Abstract

This paper presents a personal and social environment for Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL). This environment enables teachers and students to combine a variety of inquiry components and generate mashups that can be adapted in order to meet their personal needs and preferences. This approach also allows users to share their mashups and use them collaboratively with their peers in order to perform their inquiries.
