Abstract
Most teachers in software engineering are still using the Web as means for knowledge transmission from the teacher to the students, duplicating the objectivist techniques found in teacher-centered learning environments. However, there is strong evidence that teacher-centered instructional Web sites are limited to realize the potential of online learning, mostly because they do not reflect the learners' needs. To improve online learning, it may be necessary to design Web-based instruction from a constructivist perspective which offers a potentially powerful way to rethink the development of Web-based instruction by stressing the need for learners to play an active role in constructing knowledge. This paper describes a constructivist approach to Web-based instruction in software engineering.
