Instructional scaffolding is a process by which an instructor supports a student in executing a learning task. Designers of virtual learning environments are challenged with replacing the verbal and visual scaffolding present in face-to-face classes for their online students. This paper describes how to build scaffolding in online interactive graduate courses
