How to design learning environments leading learning-, thinking, collaboration- and regulation skills which can be applied transferable, knowledge oriented outcomes is still controversial. We studied the designs of in innovative higher professional education more closely. To characterize we identify designable elements position them on a scale ranging from specified, emergent elements. Next, main problems with are identified. introduce adaptive as potential solution. observed participants adapting such suit their own needs or others. The fulfill dual function: they should offer contextual clues that would available practice scaffold learners need support.
