this description will be on how some constructivist principles – such as knowledge building, active and
self-directed learners, collaborative learning, communities of learners and practice - can be applied to
compose the architecture of a blended university course. The course carefully integrates online activities
with face to face meetings. Several educational models are also combined to guide the design of
individual, small-group and collective activities able to exploit issues such as digital identities, E-Tutor,
online role-play, and E-Portfolio. Principles of constructivism were always followed when setting
activities and meetings. The description provided is mainly useful for teachers and educators interested
in implementing a blended course with clear references to constructivist pedagogy. In addition, theoretically
founded roles, tasks, and activities are outlined. The thoughtful mix of pedagogical models,
online and face to face activities, individual-dyads-small group and collective learning contexts is the
strongest point of this course.
