SketchUp Learning Center: A Phenomenal Phenomenaria?
Timothy J. Rogers
Purdue University

This paper investigates the freely available online learning resources for the equally freely available 3D modeling software package Google SketchUp ("Google SketchUp," 2007). A subset of primary training materials and learning resources for SketchUp will be reviewed and evaluated through the lens of the constructivist perspective-i.e. a few principles and insights proposed by notable constructivist theorists such as David N. Perkins and David Jonassen.

The materials will be summarized as they currently exist with the explicit understanding that this package, like most active and popular software packages, is a constantly evolving and adapting toolset and that training materials are required to evolve and adapt as well. That said, this paper will be constructed with the goal of potentially influencing future releases of training materials through constructive criticism and application of key principles of constructivist theory.
