  Abstract
  This paper describes a model for the design of online constructivist learning environments for tertiary education. A major benefit of this model is that it encourages diversity among students by valuing the different perspectives they bring to an issue rather than trying to change their perspective to accept a single “right answer” to every question.

  The author argues that constructivist learning environments where multiple perspectives are respected and there is no single "right "answer" are better for encouraging diversity. The ideas for instructional design for diversity are more theory-based than practice-based, but this has some interesting concepts.
  
  "The major advantage of this learning model is that one of its key design goals is to encourage students to bring multiple perspectives to questions/cases/problems/issues and projects as part of their learning. This approach to learning views diversity as a strength to be exploited rather than a problem to be solved."
