Assignment one.

In the constructivism, the learners built new ideas and concepts about their prerequisite knowledge. The learner will built ideas, hypothesis, flow charts, and make decisions from the material they are studying. They use their cognitive skills .As an instructor what they will do is try to facilitate the students to try to get the principle idea behind the specific concept. The student and the instructor will be actively involved in the learning process. Moreover, the process or the curriculum will be moving on in the formative style. Here as the e- learning is more self- directed type of learning .Constructivism is very much suitable. According to the writing “Is e-learning the solution of the individual learning” the definition of e learning is all forms of learning which is supported by electronic medium. In addition, it states that knowledge is not an art or fact that can be transfer to another person. However, that person also has to adapt or construct the information to understand it. Moreover, in the article it states that both the learner and the teacher also should be complementing to each other. It means that they both should be actively learning in the process. This active learning process should be a generative process with the initial input of the teacher. When we focus on the four aspects of the writing, it gets more emphasize that e learning support the constructive approach of learning. 
The four aspects are 

1. How the teacher will produce the teaching material where all students satisfy their needs?

2. How can the material are prepared such a way that which kind of interaction produced between the    
     learners and will support the learning. 

3. Which kind of assessment can be useful and possible? 

4. How teachers and the co-learners will go along the process. Hence, this adds more weight on the 
    argument that this writing used constructivism. Therefore, it explains that e learning satisfy its needs through 
    constructive approach.
