From a constructivist point of view, people actively construct new knowledge as they interact with their environment.
Constructionism asserts that learning is particularly effective when constructing something for others to experience. This can be anything from a spoken sentence or an internet posting, to more complex artifacts like a painting, a house or a software package.
For example
you might read this page several times and still forget it by
tomorrow
but if you were to try and explain these ideas to someone else in
extends constructivism into social settings, wherein groups construct knowledge for one another, collaboratively creating a small culture of shared artifacts with shared meanings. When one is immersed within a culture like this, one is learning all the time about how to be a part of that culture, on many levels.

Focus on the experiences that would be best for learning from the learner's point of view
Helps you realize how each participant in a course can be a teacher as well as a learner. Your job as a 'teacher' can change from being 'the source of knowledge' to being an influencer and role model of class culture. Moodle doesn't FORCE this style of behavior, but this is what the designers believe that it is best at supporting.
Resources are things to see, read, view, explore Activities are things to do (and there are a lot!) All the ways these are used in a Moodle course are up to your imagination!
