Walden's Paths, created by the Center for the Study of Digital Libraries, provides
a mechanism for leveraging student learning with the incredible amount of educational
material on the web by organizing selected web pages into a structured learning activity.
Applying specialized templates to the creation of Walden's Paths can aid a path author in
creating pedagogically sound, Web-based activities, by assisting in the collection of
information and organization of the activity. Authoring templates may be based on
established educational frameworks, learning theories or specific activity type. This
research project investigates how using pedagogically based templates affects the
authoring process for paths created using Walden's Paths. A template based on the
educational framework Inquiry-Based Learning was created and tested by a group of
users to determine what effects the template has on creating paths as compared to
creating similar paths using the existing Walden's Paths interface.
