In an open learning environment, teachers should provide students with resources, tools, and scaffolds. Resources can be static like unchanging information or dynamic like information that updates and evolves. Teachers should provide tools for processing, manipulating, and communicating information. Scaffolds support learning by providing conceptual, metacognitive, procedural, and strategic guidance to help students solve problems in an open-ended way. The goal is to foster a constructivist learning environment where students own the problems and learn through active, authentic problem-solving.
