This document discusses using inquiry-based learning (IBL) and an online research hub called MOLE to support archaeology students in their dissertations. It outlines how the approach provides students with skills activities and collaboration tools to structure their research. An evaluation found increasing student engagement with MOLE resources over three weeks. The implications are that IBL and MOLE support students in developing research capabilities and skills while allowing peer feedback, leading to improved dissertation submission rates and quality.
