Abstract
This paper describes the tele-house pilot project designed to serve Hungarian learning communities. In the project participating children are mentored by students in pre-service Informatics courses using distance learning technology. Two web-based learning material collections designed by the TEAM Lab <http://www.team-lab.ini.hu> provide a constructivist approach and allow different learning styles to emerge. The NETLogo component provides self-paced discovery learning with individual guidance while the Creative Communications component provides project-based group learning with collaboration and group mentoring. The pilot project went through two sessions of an Action Research process that aimed to build a suitable model extendable to the whole network of tele-houses and to contribute to the introduction of distance education in order to support under-developed regions of Hungary.
