    I give this paper a 5.
    I feel this treatise paper was very well organized, very well written and that the argument was well articulated. The group cited quite a bit of research beyond the textbook and did a solid job of explaining how the research is related to online learning.
    I feel the team worked extremely well together.

    I feel this group went beyond simply breaking down the book chapters in that they cited classical constructivist theories of education leading up to the modern technology evolution of the Internet at it is used in education today. The research cited came from deeper analyzation of the sources used by the book's authors and further supported their work.

    Scott,

    Thanks for your explanations! Could you be more specific on "classical constructivist theories?"

    What do you mean by "classical?" Thanks!

    By classical constructivist theories I refer to the popular constructivist learning theories that state that social communication performs a basic function in the advancement of cognitive growth and development in human beings. Lev Vygotsky believed that shared learning paves the way for cognitive development in children as opposed to the thought that development occurs prior to learning (Vygotsky, 1978). Additionally, Benjamin Bloom identified three elemental types or levels of learning: Cognitive learning, which is based on knowledge and the development of mental skills; Affective learning, based on attitudes and the development of emotions and feelings; and, Psychomotor learning, which is based on the development of physical skills (Bloom, 1956).

    Scott,

    Excellent justifications! I encourage to put more thoughts to Vygotsky's theory since his socio-cultural leaning theory aligns to new web 2.0 learning environment well.
