Abstract conceptualization is thinking, making meaning, and producing, and includes activities such as "planning and problem solving" (Merriam, 2008, p 55). The best example is real-world problems where there's usually no one right answer and it's up to the learner to gather the information and solve the problem based on present information, the learner's previous knowledge about the topic, and contextual information.
Abstract conceptualization at a distance might look like a project where the learner takes what he/she has learned in class (theory) to solve a real-world problem (practice).
