Community, Content and Collaboration Management Systems in Education: A New Chance for Socio-constructivist Scenarios?

Περίληψη

While one can observe a boom of interest for e-learning in the last 2-3 years, current e-learning
systems rather focus on content delivery, as opposed to supporting students to solve more complex
and open-ended tasks. We are convinced by the effectiveness of socio-constructivist pedagogies in
education and struck by the apparent lack of widely deployed supporting tools. We would like to
argue that a large number of rich educational scenarios can be supported at reasonable cost by
the emerging brand of modular Community, Content and Collaboration Management Systems
(C3MS).
