How we fulfil objectives?

We have no answers, just questions!


WITH WHOM?


EACH OTHER

• Asynchronous – Forums, encyclopaedia

• Synchronous – networking

27.08.2003

WHAT?


SIMPLE GAMES + SKELTON + THEMATIC

• Simple games – links to Imagine course material

• Program skeletons are offered to be modified

• Thematic microworlds using Turtle metaphors – can be easily modified exploring new domains

• Communication and self expression

27.08.2003

HOW?


ACTIVITIES + FORUM + COMMUNICATION

• Interactive games (motivation)

• On-line games (contact)

• Explorative games (investigation)

• Brainstorming (communication)

• Creative tools (self-expression)

• Exchange games + Forum + „add-on„ + components (collaboration)

• Networking (use tools as white-board)27.08.2003

HOW TO SUPPORT?


• Advisory trails

• Diverse links at every node

• Good examples (Demo, Gallery)

• Exchange Forums

• Tutorials

• Mentors on-line

• Monitoring (assignments, log, cognitive maps)
