From Socrates to PIAGET: Patterns for Distance Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Millenniums ago, Socrates established the basis for philosophy today, only by using criticism to set up concepts and rules discussing them with his disciples. This approach, named Socratic Method, has also proved to be a teaching-learning strategy. Nowadays, even though web-based, collaborative Distance Learning systems are becoming industry standards for representation and deployment of online content for courses, some features can be extracted from the Socratic Method in order to respond to recurrent questions about how technologies could be correctly applied for supporting different pedagogical strategies in order to provide massive, high-quality distance learning content. This paper shows a collection of patterns for developing fine granular, highly reusable learning objects over interactive tools like PIAGET.
