Constructivism is a theory of learning, not a theory of pedagogy. Neuroscience explains why this is important | npj Science of Learning Community
This is intended to be a controversial position, but it seems to align with research. We construct our understanding in context, building and elaborating schema over time. Our schema are only partial representations though. Learning is supported by creating multiple, overlapping partial representations of knowledge. Repeated exposure and practice in varied contexts is important.

Schemas for categorizing the use of pedagogies, learning theories, and technologies. For example, Table 1 maps learning theories (behaviorism, cognitive constructivism, social constructivism, and situated learning) against types of technologies. Online communication tools offer more potential for social constructivist interaction and joint construction of knowledge.

This article also suggests a way to map tool use along three dimensions:

  • Individual - Social
  • Information - Experience
  • Passive - Active This isn't a simple framework where a single tool always is used the same way. Blogs can be more social or more based on individual reflection, and could be at different places in that framework depending on the actual learning activities.

Should we be using learning styles? What research has to say to practice
Should we be using learning styles? What research has to say to practice

Long PDF (84 pages) on learning styles research and how it can--and should--influence pedagogy. Examines 13 learning style models and finds a lot of variety in relability, validity, and general usefulness of the models.

Connectivism Blog Pedagogy First? Whatever.
George Siemens argues that rather than starting with pedagogy for making instructional decisions, we should start with context. He recommends choosing the technology first, then the pedagogy to match, partly because "sound pedagogy" is an ambiguous target.
Pedagogy should not even be a consideration during the planning stages of technology use. Harsh statement? Perhaps, but it's a reality. Few Utopian situations exist where our decisions on how to teach can be based exclusively on pedagogy. Resources, expertise, technology, needs (of learners, educators, society), and funds impact what we choose to do. In a world: context. The mix of multiple, mutually influencing factors determine what we types of technology we select.

Samples of e-learning content about Bloom's taxonomy and instructional design. I don't agree with everything in the content or how it's presented, but there's always something to learn from looking at other people's interactive learning.

JOLT: CREST+ Model: Writing Effective Online Discussion Questions
The CREST+ model, a model for writing effective online discussion questions, covers the cognitive nature of the question, the reading basis, any experiential possibility, style and type of question, and finally ways to structure a good question.  This model encourages students to participate in online forum discussions, provides a template for new online faculty to use in creating effective discussion questions, and promotes a higher level processing of the material.
The CREST+ model covers the cognitive nature of the question [C], the reading basis [R], any experiential [E] possibility, style and type of question [ST] , and finally ways to structure a good question [+].
