TLDR
An infrastructure has been developed to address curriculum design and learning issues within the software engineering program and to enable students to exercise a measure of control over their learning experiences.Abstract:
With the development of new undergraduate degree programmes within Murdoch University's School of Engineering, the decision was made to offer courses, as much as practical, online. This provides numerous challenges to be addressed including considerations of curriculum design and learning issues. Within the software engineering program, an infrastructure has been developed to address these issues and to enable students to exercise a measure of control over their learning experiences.read more

Exogenous, endogenous, and dialectical constructivism☆
TL;DR: In this article, three constructivist paradigms are distinguished: Exogenous constructivism (rooted in a mechanistic metaphor) emphasizes the reconstruction of structures preformed in the environment, endogenous constructivism emphasizes the coordination of previous organismic structures, and dialectical constructivism emphasises the construction of new structures out of organism/environment interaction.
