Social-constructivism Instructivism Centrality of knowledge Centrality of knowledge, construction, disciplinary subject, Centrality of activities Centrality of the environment, Importance of tutor and teacher in action, Based on the tutor s competencies.

Or use author tools present in the LMS. 7
How to improve interactive activities - discussion 1. Materials or example or experiences (wide and pluriprospectic) 2. Discussion (forum, chat, ecc.) 3. Synthesis with wiki or blog 8
How to improve interactive activities - research 1. Define a problem and the materials to consult, 2. Decide a path: e.c. Decide key words, find the page, speed reading, select the pages, grounded reading, copy sentences or create sentences, build the final report with wiki or map tool Define the rules and the role of the single actor. 9
How to improve interactive activities - design 1. Identify a problem and the resources 2. Work with wiki and forum or chat 3. Describe and report a project 10
How to improve interactive activities - reflection 1. Collect personal or group materials, portfolio; build the diario; use the artifacts; compare with the rubrics. 2. Discuss in forum or chat, or be involved in simulations or role plays, 3. Create a synthesis 11

Tutor and teacher Different roles, but consistent with the didactical approach and the choice of the course organization. In same cases the teacher plays the role of the tutor, and vice-versa. versa 13
The role of the teacher In face to face the role of the teacher is: Organize and structure the course; Introduce the topic, connect the current lesson to the path of the course; Justify the choice of the course structure and the activities Motivate the students. After he runs the classes. 14
The role of the teacher Also in on line the role of the teacher is not limited to choose materials and activities. He provides a presentation and the aims of the course; He reifies the structure with the organization of the modules, He shows how to study and use the materials. 14

The role of the tutor 3 - In support to teacher - contribute to the design of the course; - implement the activities iti and the materials in the environment; - (suggest the use of online tools to the teacher); - send a periodical report of the students' activities according to the teacher needs; 17
How the role of the tutor changes In function of the teacher's competences; In function of the didactic approaches; In function of the human and financial resources. BUT if it is possible, it is better to have well defined roles. 18
Training A specific training is needed for both, teacher and tutor. Tool for design and the ID models. The Macerata tutor training. Example of the course and the tutor training. 19
