I find this article very odd. There is no proper intro so it is not really clear what ‘Inquiry in motion’ actually is. Notability is hard to judge as the ref links are dead. My suspicion arises from the fact that four of the refs cited are by the same lead author. I think this is essentially promotional spam for one person’s pet project.

• Delete I agree with your assessment. Any coverage I could find seemed to be written by the person who developed "IIM". I found a study that describes it as "a professional development (PD) project, entitled Inquiry in Motion, designed to (a) facilitate teacher transformation toward greater quantity and quality of inquiry-based instruction, (b) improve student achievement in science practices and science concepts, and (c) begin to narrow the achievement gap among various groups" -- study report also written by same person who seems to have developed the method.
