Holbert, Nathan, Ed.; Berland, Matthew, Ed.; Kafai, Yasmin B., Ed. – MIT Press, 2020
Constructionism, first introduced by Seymour Papert in 1980, is a framework for learning to understand something by making an artifact for and with other people. A core goal of constructionists is to respect learners as creators, to enable them to engage in making meaning for themselves through construction, and to do this by democratizing access…

Di Blas, N.; Bucciero, A.; Mainetti, L.; Paolini, P. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2012
Multi-User Virtual Environments (MUVEs) are often used to support learning in formal and informal educational contexts. A technology-based educational experience consists of several elements: content, syllabus, roles, sequence of activities, assignments, assessment procedures, etc. that must be aligned with the affordances of the technologies to…

Bouta, Hara; Retalis, Symeon; Paraskeva, Fotini – Computers & Education, 2012
This study examines the effect of using an online 3D virtual environment in teaching Mathematics in Primary Education. In particular, it explores the extent to which student engagement--behavioral, affective and cognitive--is fostered by such tools in order to enhance collaborative learning. For the study we used a purpose-created 3D virtual…
