Drawing inspirations from the xTED talk as mentioned earlier - Blowing up the Gradebook
I suggested we take a "Quest-based" approach that allows the student to access any part of the learning as they wish. This also resembles the "Wikipedia-approach" where it allows the student to take control of their learning.
The others came up with similar ideas.
Other Features suggest are/were:
- Social Chatroom/Chat-box
- Leaderboard (Points based System)
- Better Messaging System
- Forums
- Friends/Buddylist
- Progress Bars
- Potential Employees
- Badges/Virtual Reward System (Much to the chagrin of some)
- Splitting up/Getting rid of the lengthy Documents to "bite-sized" information
A couple sketches was drawn up by Peter which we commented on and discussed. For a start, a simple design was best and we'd play around it with it - adding/taking away features as we saw fit.
The first priority is to discuss the way the unit will be presented and the information.
A very simplistic design was decided upon as the starting grounds. The Progress bar was implemented (of some sorts) as well as easy access to other topics and modules. The "Recently Visited" icons allow quick access to revise recent topics.
The Quad Buttons representing Home, Messages, Profile and Log Out was also utilized.
