The Web-based Inquiry Science Environment (
WISE
) provides cognitive and procedural scaffolding to students as they use the Internet to diagnose problems, critique experiments, plan investigations, search for information, construct models, debate with peers, and form coherent arguments. Our goal is to help students become lifelong learners of science, critiquers of information, and collaborators in argument and design. This paper describes the
WISE
technology and instructional framework, as well as the various partnerships that have resulted in new curriculum and technology features, as well as international collaborations. In
WISE
partnerships, scientists, classroom teachers, educational researchers and technology specialists collaborate to develop new inquiry curriculum. In
WISE
research partnerships, researchers are supported as they embed their investigations into classroom studies using the
WISE
technology platform and pedagogical framework. In
WISE
International partnerships, researchers from different countries collaborate to translate these technology-based innovations into different languages and customize them for diverse cultural contexts.
