TODO for SciFest
Which JS-EDEN version? which browser?
need to get all core construals to run in it
needs to support the StateListener and Network stuff
needs to have a project list that matches the needs of the workshop to simplify loading
How is input to be given? - will there be a separate editor environment?
Aim should be to handle all editing required (which should be minimal) within JS-EDEN
Could alternatively try to have ready-made definitions etc to be selected,
and allow the novice to select from options
Must handle the distinction between different pupils' accounts:
sorting out histories / conceivably allowing remote monitoring
[what if pupils run more than one construal on same machine?]
acquisition of credit
- means all construals must run in conjunction with the Shopping construal in some sense?
- some way of passing info about performance on core construals to the mystery construal?
Devise the mystery construal
------------------------------------
Consider the link up with a physical lightbox device and the piano keyboard
(need to see to what extent a keyboard sourced from Joensuu might be connnected)
Make poster resources to accompany the 4 construals
(a) about the overall scientific topic
(AI, four colour theorem, well-tempered tuning, construals in science)
(b) about the specific construal being studied (particularly some 'OER-style' application)
(c) about the hosting partner from the consortium
Make 'labsheets' for the four construals
==========================================================================================
Activities for the core construals
----------------------------------
Introductory activity - probably some scenes from SBR's intro to shopping
Making a buying-capable variant of shopping
_____________________________________________________________________
Introductory walk-through with guidance - credit gained as you follow demonstrator's progression
Standard kinds of independent activities on the exemplar construals
- reviewing a dictionary for the subset of observables the pupils have to work with
- identify dependencies amongst observables
- find discrepancy in construal
- create a dependency
Earn credit that lubricates the coin generation process - leading to ready purchase of components of the mystery construal
==========================================
Other ideas to be oonsidered:
---------------------------------------
? must first identify which is your virtual location by consulting details of the sunset and sunrise at particular times of year
---------------
Buying letters and making melodic fragments to build a tune
- compose tunes with melodic fragments have learnt?
- possibly as a race
- or play hangman type of game
---------------------------------------
