Some suggestions:<br /><br />"...scaffolding, meaning that instructors will build upon knowledge one piece at a time, so that students will continue to gain stronger and stronger understanding, eventually gaining independence in the learning process."<br /><br />"Instructors will employ scaffolding techniques, wherein foundational knowledge is added to progressively, allowing students to gain stronger understanding as the course progresses, eventually becoming more independent learners."<br /><br />"...scaffolding; in other words, knowledge from the beginning of the course will continue to be added to throughout the entire six-week process. This will ensure that student have a strong foundational understanding of the subject that will only become stronger, eventually allowing them to be independent learners." **For this one, the semi-colon obviously depends on the sentence prior to the ellipses being a complete sentence. Also, the "six-week" timeline was an example. Use whatever the actual timeline for the course is.**<br /><br />Let me know if you have any other questions.
