Striking a balance between free and guided exploration - conceptualizing support for exploratory learning environments

Abstract

Exploratory Learning Environments (ELE) are virtual environments that adhere to constructivist theories of learning emphasizing learner control. However, research suggests that lack of sufficient explicit support may undermine their effectiveness. Advanced technologies provide opportunities to supply learners with the right information at the right time. This workshop, 3rd in a series, focuses on striking a balance between free and guided exploration and provides a forum for conceptualizing and raising requirements for support in ELE
