It could be pretty useful (okay, just plain fun) to create your own comic strip for an activity or two in your course.

A great quote from Mark @ e-Clippings (Learning as Art). Emphasis is mine.

Constructivism, inspired by the work of John Dewey, is a theory of learning that’s quite consistent with our approach in designing to ruzuku.
Constructivism is a learning theory or educational philosophy that many educators began to consider in the 1990s. One of the primary tenets of this philosophy is that learners construct their own meaning from new information, as they interact with reality or others with different perspectives. Constructivist learning environments require students to utilize their prior knowledge and experiences to formulate new, related, and/or adaptive concepts in learning. Under this framework the role of the teacher becomes that of a facilitator, providing guidance so that learners can construct their own knowledge. Constructivist educators must make sure that the prior learning experiences are appropriate and related to the concepts being taught. Jonassen (1997) suggests “well-structured” learning environments are useful for novice learners and that “ill-structured” environments are only useful for more advanced learners. Educators utilizing technology when teaching with a constructivist perspective should choose technologies that reinforce prior learning perhaps in a problem-solving environment. (Wikipedia)
Dewey suggested teachers be “guides” rather than “directors” — we use the same term, Guide, in ruzuku. This article provides a general, high-level introduction to constructivism and its application in online learning.
