We're just sort of messing around here. | STEPHEN DOWNES: HALF AN HOUR SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 Stager, Logo and Web 2.0 Moodle and Elgg , for example, adopt explicitly Constructivist theories to inform their design and development. Gary Stager offers an impressive assessment of the use of Web 2.-0 tools in learning by virtue of an extended comparison between those tools and Logo, the revolutionary e-learning system developed by Seymour Papert in the 1960s. | STEPHEN DOWNES: HALF AN HOUR FEBRUARY 11, 2012 E-Learning: Générations Enl'éducation, sans doute l'acteur majeur de cette époque était Elgg, à cetteépoque et elle est encore à ce jour, une nouvelle technologie.
