Faculty Collaborations: Creating Inquiry-Oriented Resources
The MIP supports faculty collaborations at different scales. Collaborative Research and Development (CoRD) teams develop a collection of resources to be used throughout a course to develop a major central concept in that course. Activity Revision Collaborations (ARCs) focus on revising a single activity or assignment to promote inquiry-oriented learning.
Collaborative Research and Development Teams
The MIP supports Collaborative Research and Development (CoRD) teams, each consisting of 3-5 faculty to develop instructional modules for the core concepts identified in the Initiation Workshops. After peer review and revision, the modules are posted to the MIP website and supported by Regional Workshops and Mentoring.
Each core concept identified in an Initiation Workshop is assigned a Collaborative Research and Development (CoRD) team of 3-5 faculty with appropriate expertise to continue development of an active learning module based on the conceptual analysis and outline of promising approaches identified in the workshop. After a CoRD submits their proposed module, it sent for external peer review by at least two other faculty. After a favorable review, each CoRD revises and pilots their module, incorporating feedback gained during the review process and submits a final module for publication on the project website. The website includes informative video clips from the pilot implementation, instructor notes to support subsequent adoption and delivery, assignments, and assessment materials.

Activity Revision Collaborations
The MIP also supports smaller Activity Revision Collaborations (ARCs) of 2-3 faculty to revise an existing single activity or assignment to better promote inquiry-oriented learning in an entry-level college mathematics course.

Concurrent Enrollment Collaborations
The Mathematical Inquiry Project (MIP) seeks proposals for regional collaborations to develop, implement, and disseminate resources to increase access of Oklahoma high school students to high-quality concurrent enrollment mathematics programs aligned with the state entry-level college math pathways.
