Instructors could assign discussion questions based on specific readings but that would mean that some modules have two discussion question forums (one for specific readings, one for broader overall module topics). One thing that was suggested was to have as set of students come up with what they considered the most important points of a reading (as well as lingering questions) and share those with the rest of the class. Another exercise is called "jigsaw"- where each group researches a topic, learns it, then teaches their peers.
While not all of the entries are inquiry-based, several of the activities on ION's Online Teaching Activity Index (OTAI) are. http://www.ion.uillinois.edu/resources/otai/
It is a great resource for ideas and inspiration. "Fishbowl", for example, might be particularly applicable to the MST program -- where a student submits, say, a video of them teaching a certain
biology topic, then the peers evaluate how well the initial student did.
