An article — Creative Commons Reboot of the FOSIL-based Heroic Inquiry Cycle — by Darryl Toerien and Hugh Rose for Learning Hub (Volume 1, Issue 2, April 2025), an open access and peer-reviewed journal from the School of Information at San José State University.

Abstract

This brief multimedia article discusses the Creative Commons reboot of FOSIL-based Heroic Inquiry in two parts. The first part is a written reflection by Darryl Toerien on the collaborative development of Heroic Inquiry (1.x) at Blanchelande College in 2021, which is the alignment of the stages in the FOSIL-based inquiry process (2010) with the stages in the Hero’s Journey, and then the reasons for the collaborative redevelopment of Heroic Inquiry (2.x) for the FOSIL Symposium in 2025. The second part is a recorded reflection by Hugh Rose on his visual interpretation of the design brief for Heroic Inquiry (2.x).
