Abstract

The paper proposes a theoretical approach to the learning and teaching processes in virtual environments based on the principles of socio-cultural constructivism. Three key ideas are discussed: learning in virtual environments as a process of knowledge construction, teaching in virtual environments as a process of continuous and sensible assistance to knowledge construction, and teacher-students joint activity as the basic unit of analysis of learning and teaching processes in virtual environments. Implications of these ideas for the design and evaluation of virtual learning environments and learning objects are considered and examined.
