Inquiry-Based Learning Centers
Centers for inquiry-based learning are being established in the mathematics departments of five major universities: Harvard University, University of Michigan, University of Chicago, University of Texas at Austin, and the University of California at Santa Barbara.

MathNerds
MathNerds is a non-profit organization that provides free inquiry-based mathematical guidance via an international volunteer network of mathematicians working through the internet. MathNerds provides hints, suggestions, and references to help clients understand and solve their mathematical problems.

Paul Halmos' Automathography
Late in his career, Paul Halmos was introduced to R. L. Moore's version of inquiry-based learning. In this excerpt from his 1985 book I Want to be a Mathematician: an Automathography, Halmos offers his assessment of Moore's method.

Legacy of R. L. Moore Project
Inquiry-based learning in university-level mathematics is most often associated with R. L. Moore of the University of Texas. The Legacy Project was established by Mr. Harry Lucas Jr. and the Educational Advancement Foundation, with the mission "to disseminate the Inquiry-Based Learning methodology of R. L. Moore and to further its implementation throughout the educational systems in the United States and abroad."

R. L. Moore Mentoring Program
Sponsored by the Legacy of R. L. Moore Project, the R. L. Moore Mentoring Program provides "advice, support, and encouragement to those interested in using the Moore Method in their teaching. Individuals who request assistance are paired with mentors who are experienced practitioners of the Moore Method."

Christmas at Big Lake
Sam Young, an Associate Professor Emeritus at Auburn University, earned his Ph.D. in analysis at the University of Texas. This entertaining essay recounts his experiences in Moore's topology class, where he first encountered inquiry-based learning.
