Formatting Process
Project Links has many prototype materials which we are reworking according to our goals, templates, and assumptions of use in the classroom. Here is the general process we are using to rework those materials:
Initial Template Design
- Initial Templates include fixed (Objectives, Prepare, Workshop, Follow-Up) and flexible (workshop) structure
- Initial Set of Pre-Formatted Objects: Reveal-The-Answer, Predict / Recall, Questions
- Core Functionality: Capability for Instructors to Capture & Review Student Responses
Rework 3 Modules
- Module Teams: Content Expert, Grad Student, Technical Manager, Technical Support Staff
- Team Agrees on High Level Module Design; Technical Support Staff Builds Using Templates
- Reviews At All Stages: Content, Presentation, User Interface, Usability, Educational Technology, Classroom Use
Revisit Templates
- Continuous Reviews & Upgrades of Templates and Objects: Many Changes to Date
- Target End of 1997 to Complete for Project Links General Use (see next slide)
