Abstract: This poster will describe a study of Studio Zone, a web-based learning environment for supporting discussion around visual representations of design, with the goal of fostering critiquing skills. This approach features personal reflection spaces, portfolios, and cognitive scaffolds to support critique. This study presents a comparison of two contexts in which the Studio Zone environment will be integrated: a middle school art class and a graduate level class in educational software design.

Keywords: distributed learning environments, scaffolding, reflection
