       Teaching children problem solving techniques is an important goal of most education systems. Many parents choose to supplement their children’s learning with experiences outside of the everyday classroom. The Fifth Dimension is an environment in which participants interact with peers, mentors, and the Wizard. Essentially participants learn and develop skills while taking part in puzzles, problem solving and games. 

      • This is a great overview of what the 5th Dimension program is and how it works.

    Abstract: This paper presents a model of learning as a social process incorporating multiple distinguishable phases that constitute a cycle of personal and social knowledge-building. It explicitly considers the relationship of processes associated with individual minds to those considered to be socio-cultural. This model of collaborative knowledge-building incorporates insights from various theories of understanding and learning in hopes of providing a useful conceptual framework for the design of CSCL software, specifically collaborative knowledge-building environments (KBEs). By naming a set of cognitive and social processes, it suggests areas for computer support, including a set of specific illustrative KBE components.
