Scaffolding is often described as assistance that a tutor provides to a learner to complete a task that is beyond what the learner can complete on her own. It is grounded in Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, and specifically related to the zone of proximal development (ZPD). Scaffolding students’ learning is important in both formal and informal contexts, in which one tutor/teacher typically works with several students. In this session, presenters will discuss how support could be designed and provided by multiple tools and agents, including technology; collaborative interactions between instructors and peers; in formal and informal contexts. How can instructors scaffold interactions and strategically utilize tools so that multiple ZPDs are addressed simultaneously in a classroom and other learning environments?
