Definitions

• Constructive learning goes beyond learning by
  receiving knowledge, to learning by building
  systems, with immediate, visual feedback.
• Collaborative learning encourages students to
  interact with instructors and librarians, via
  both live links and remote-controlled "show me"
  sessions or by reviewing a multimedia FAQ of
  recorded "show me" sessions .

More definitions

• Inquiry-based learning guides the student into
  pursuing exploratory research in a community of
  students and scholars.
• Multiple tracks means that we want deliver
  content for students at different levels, for
  introductory and upper level computer science
  courses, and with different learning styles.
