Abstract

This paper introduces one of the key topics addressed in the symposium, Information Technology in Education Worldwide. The focus is on how information technology (IT) has been used in learning environments to support authentic learning in a social context and to facilitate active construction of knowledge by the learner. This topic will be the focus of one of 10-12 sections to be represented by several chapters in the upcoming International Handbook of Information Technology in Education to be published by Springer.
