This document discusses constructivist learning theory, which holds that learning occurs when students actively construct knowledge by working to solve realistic problems. The document explores the key aspects of this theory, its pros and cons, and how it can be applied in a virtual classroom setting. It also poses two discussion questions about applying constructivist theory in other areas of study without interactive online resources, and whether Piaget or Vygotsky better captured how learning and development interact.
