I have blogged about CILASS, which is focused on inquiry based learning. A project which is exploring an inquiry based approach in schools is Enquiring Minds a "£1 million three-year research and development programme to investigate how children can be effective in shaping their own learning." It is funded by Microsoft, which means there is the occasional oddity (e.g. "Wizard prompts" being identified as enabling tools rather than manifestations of the evil one which should be hunted from your MS Windows/Vista desktop on sight) Nevertheless, some interesting stuff. http://www.enquiringminds.org.uk/
