More on the principles of 'making construals'

The key concepts and principles for making construals have been the central theme of several publications and of other learning activities associated with the CONSTRUIT! project. For further insight into the nature of making construals, you can study the construals presented in previous activities, such as the three construals (purse, makefromscratch, givingchange) introduced in Sessions S4 and S5 in the activity C6 that was held at Warwick in December 2015. You may also find it helpful to study the construals in the itag/shopping directory in conjunction with this tutorial paper that was presented at iTAG2015. Please feel free to upload your work to the JS-Eden repository, and do not hesitate to contact Dimitris Alimisis at Edumotiva, or Meurig Beynon, the scientific coordinator of CONSTRUIT!, at wmb[at]dcs.warwick.ac.uk if you have any questions.

How to access example construals

Click here to access JS-Eden.

(It will open in a new browser tab. If you get a message about changes to view/script/input, just respond 'no'.)

Load each construal in a separate instance of JS-Eden.

To try out a construal, click on the pop up ("more") menu icon at the bottom right of the 'input' tab in the MCE and select the 'Browse Agents' option. Use the tick boxes to select the construal you wish to load, and click the 'Add' button. The construal will be recorded in one or more tabs that appear in the input interface. To run the script in a given tab, select the tab with the right mouse button and click 'Run(force)' option.

Uploading your own construals

You can create and store your own construals in the JS-Eden repository. For details of how to do this, consult this wiki information page. Note that you will need to use a login for a Google or Twitter account.
