The predominant use of active learning and open-guided inquiry supports students' autonomy, as students are key decision makers in how to proceed with the learning activities.
The impact of this feature was not isolated, but there was no difference in quality of interaction between high-autonomy students and low-autonomy students who used the Optima Design; however, there was a difference in quality of interaction between high-autonomy and low-autonomy students who used a previous version of the scaffold.
