1. Constructivism - Information items are built one on top of the other. Image your learning community constructing a huge Lego building: New bricks can always be added, however they need to be placed such that the building continues, or, in other words, in context to other blocks.
2. Social Constructivism - following Vygotsky and his followers, we believe that knowledge built collaboratively is the most rich and substantial way to learn.
