    • Description:
    This principle calls on designers to expose learners to the rich diversity of the inquiry process. Far too often students leave science class with an image of inquiry as dogmatic and inflexible or abstract and incomprehensible (Linn, Bell, & Davis, 2004). Technology-enhanced learning environments can help students become aware of the diversity of science inquiry by engaging students in a variety of inquiry processes.
