10. The explicit nature of communication favours a more reflective approach than face-to-face dialogue, demands keyboard skills and good standards of written language, and also requires the motivation to participate without the support of a live social context. There are studies that report students being uncomfortable with these demands, for example, struggling with the learner locus of control or with the use of peer review and feedback.

Learning Activity Design
8. Tools for creating representations in different media - e.g. PowerPoint, web editors, video and animation software, digital cameras - are all too often regarded as the perogative of the learning designer [teacher], but there is no reason why they should not be used by learners to create their own representations of subject matter.
6. The main intrinsic benefits of digital resources are their greater flexibility of access, reproduction and manipulation. Simply being able to study at a time, place and pace to suit them can profoundly change learners' relationships with conceptual material.
7. Resources can communicate simple information or instruction to learners, . . . . , but for deeper learning they need to be embedded in appropriate conceptual tasks.
9. Teachers committed to a constructivist approach require a wide range of facilitative skills - negotiating outcomes, supporting learner discussion, giving relevant feedback - and the ability to respond to learners' different needs. Dialogue with peer learners is also highly valued by many theorists. Vygotsky (1986) argued that learning is a socially mediated activity in the first instance, with the concepts and skills being internalised only after they have been mastered in a collaborative context.
