2. Aspects of Meaningful Learning • Active: Meaningful learning requires active engagement in a task in which they manipulate parameters of their environment and observe the results of these manipulations. This is accomplished both formally and informally by sharing skills and knowledge with other members—soshiku helps foster this aspect. • Constructive: Learners integrate their new experiences with their prior knowledge and reflect on what the have learned. Soshiku can track their progression and help students move from known to new. • Intentional: Keeping track of assignments helps foster cognitive goal direction. Using computers and technology to plan and solve problems, lets them learn meaningfully. • Authentic: Embedding learning in useful contexts lets learners practice using new ideas. • Cooperative: Soshiku’s technology supports learners working in groups. They can socially negotiate an understanding of the task and methods to accomplish it. • Adapted from Meaningful Learning with Technology Third Edition
