- Increasing Interactivity in the Online Learning Environment: Using Digital Tools to Support Students in Socially Constructed Meaning-Making Moreillon, Judi Educational Environment Interaction Online Courses Information Science Education Virtual Classrooms Learning Experience Constructivism (Learning) Student Developed Materials Computer System Design Web 2.0 Technologies Cooperative Learning Course Content Learning Activities Social Networks Computer Mediated Communication College Students Teaching Experience As more and more library and LIS education migrates to the online environment, college and university faculty are called upon to expand their pedagogy. Interactivity has been cited as one factor in attracting and retaining students in online courses and programs. LIS educators can reach outside the online learning management system (LMS) to discover Web-based tools to develop more interactive learning experiences for students' use in the virtual classroom. These activities and tools can help faculty as they enact a social constructivist teaching philosophy that increases the focus on students engaging with course content while they learn with and from one another as well as from the instructor. This paper describes one educator's journey in stretching boundaries and using student-created Web 2.0 tools and multimedia to curate course content and support students' collaborative learning experiences and collective meaning-making.
