Putting the learning back into e-learning
The design of web-based learning environments is primarily focused on the production
and delivery of content to a learner. The principles of constructionism are intended to
guide the development of learning environments where the learner has more control. In
this paper, we describe characteristics of constructionist and learning environments that
can foster the learning of mathematics. Our experiences are drawn from the development
of microworlds for an e-museum. Reflecting on this process turns out to provide some
fresh insights into how e-learning environments might be re-conceptualised in the future
