N2 - Scaffolding may support learners working with complex problems, but how to best integrate distributed scaffolds in formal and informal contexts is not well understood. In response, I will integrate distributed scaffolds (e.g., prompts, an e-textbook) in a science curriculum and a museum exhibit. Using a mixed-methods approach, I will analyze how particular patterns of distributed scaffolds support learners in classrooms and museums. These findings may impact how we conceptualize scaffolding and design learning environments.
