This site is based at Teachers College Columbia University. The site "is a guide to initiate experienced educators into designing constructivist, cooperative learning projects around the World Wide Web. Examples of projects inspired by this guide include The American History Archive Inquirer and the Dalton."

The Sloan Center for Asynchronous Learning Environments (SCALE)
http://w3.scale.uiuc.edu/scale/
"SCALE faculty are participating in a three-year project of restructuring undergraduate courses to integrate various techniques associated with asynchronous learning networks (ALN). The goals of this project are to create efficiencies in the educational process (cost, time, faculty productivity), to increase student retention, and to decrease time-to-degree."

From a site devoted to Gordon Pask (1928-1996), theorist, cybernetician and developer of Conversation Theory:
Conversation Theory is a constructivist, relativist theory based in the understanding that each student must accept responsibility for his own learning, that his understanding is uniquely his, and that such understandings are communicable and learnable (only) through conversation. He developed these ideas in numerous learning environments, and through their ramifications in, for instance, how matter to be learnt should be structured and differences in how we choose to learn (learning styles). He also saw clearly the limitations of his initial approach, and attempted to generalise Conversation Theory is two ways. Firstly, by considering the conversation as part of a gigantic and endless continuum of interaction (life)-the Interaction of Actors Theory-and secondly through the generalisation of structuring rules for the modification of bodies of topics to be learnt.
