  • constructivist learning, a philosophy which asserts that real understanding and knowledge are constructed through personal experience and reflection rather than conveyed passively through a classroom lecture. Nancy Van Note Chism noted the "decenteredness" of collaborative learning spaces like the Commons 2.0. This model does away with the privileged position of the lecturer (the sage on the stage) and emphasizes "co-learning and co-construction of knowledge."2
