Students may work alone or in teams, but their efforts are scaffolded closely by the instructor. If you have created course materials at Virginia Tech that are representative of this teaching model, we would like to showcase your work here. Please contact us with a description of your project so other faculty may learn from your efforts. To adopt constructionism, you will need to provide your students with adequate resources and tools. Depending on the content you wish your students to interpret and re-present, resources could include graphics, photos, text, links to web sites, books, or access to human resources via Internet communication tools.
Future students can then use the projects of former students to learn about specific topics.
