SHAPING vs SCAFFOLDING

Your supervisor has asked you to support the professional development of your online instructor colleagues. She would you like you to create a presentation that will help the online instructors better understand shaping learner behavior and scaffolding students’ learning. Complete the following two parts:

Part A: Calling on the Learning Resources and other outside research you conduct, construct a 500-word analysis of shaping and scaffolding students’ learning. Take a comparative approach, and identify the benefits and limitations of each.

Part B: Create a presentation with a minimum of six slides that illustrates the key similarities and differences of shaping and scaffolding. Include specific examples of how each approach can be used effectively with online learners.
