Web Inquiry Projects (WIPs) are "open inquiry learning activities that leverage the use of uninterpreted online data and information." They were invented at San Diego State University in 2001.
One example is the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Ethnography of the University (EOTU) program, which sponsors undergraduate research on the university and archives it in web-accessible form for the UIUC community. EOTU also functions as a learning group for students, staff, and faculty interested in what it means to conduct research on universities as institutions. EOTU understands that universities and colleges—their institutions, organizations, maps, and histories—are composites of diverse prose, visual, network, and statistical narratives.
