TL;DR: Project-based learning as discussed by the authors is a comprehensive approach to classroom teaching and learning that is designed to engage students in investigation of authentic problems, and it has the potential to help people learn.

TL;DR: A scaffolding design framework addressing scaffolded software tools for science inquiry that synthesizes the work of prior design efforts, theoretical arguments, and empirical work in a set of guidelines that are organized around science inquiry practices and the challenges learners face in those practices.

TL;DR: For instance, this article found that middle school students were thoughtful in designing investigations and in planning procedures; for instance, they thought about controls, about samples, and about how to organize data collection However, the cases also reveal that failures to focus on the scientific merit of questions generated and to systematically collect and analyze data and draw conclusions.

TL;DR: This paper investigated how students developed an understanding of chemical representations with the aid of a computer-based visualizing tool, eChem, that allowed them to build molecular models and view multiple representations simultaneously.

TL;DR: It is seen that ready-to-hand access creates the potential for a new phase in the evolution of technology-enhanced learning, characterized by "seamless learning spaces" and marked by continuity of the learning experience across different scenarios (or environments), and emerging from the availability of one device or more per student ("one- to-one").
