Constructivism and Online Education
This is the first entry in our new category, learning theory. We find it incredibly interesting to see how ideas about learning that have been around for decades are finding a home in the eLearning universe. Constructivism is one theory that is often bandied about in online learning circles, but how often are learners really constructing their own knowledge? This is a paper by Peter Doolittle from 1999 that addresses the opportunity and scores online learning across various constructivist dimensions.
