Zitter, Ilya; de Bruijn, Elly; Simons, Robert-Jan; ten Cate, Olle – Interactive Learning Environments, 2012
We study project-based, technology-enhanced learning environments in higher education, which should produce, by means of specific mechanisms, learning outcomes in terms of transferable knowledge and learning-, thinking-, collaboration- and regulation-skills. Our focus is on the role of objects from professional practice serving as boundary objects…

Two cases of communities of…
