Abstract: This paper illuminates the emerging constructs of students and their tutor in an attempt to answer how and why the participants maintain firm associations and sustain similar values in terms of teaching and learning using Kelly’s (1955) personal construct theory. It explores how the current construing of the participants constitutes and is constituted by the learning environment, both face-to-face and online. The partial constitution of campus-based e-learning in this exploratory investigation elucidates how learning tasks may be designed online as further analysed with the notions of grounding and coupling of tasks with the medium. Such findings may be utilised for designing courses that envisage the kind of arrangements that may enhance teaching and learning beyond a common focus on the technological capabilities of virtual learning environments, bringing to fore potentially effective and pedagogically designed online activities for campus-based students.
