A global software project: developing a tablet PC capture platform for explanograms

摘要: Explanograms provide "a sketch or diagram that students can play" [10]. They are a directly recorded multi-media resource be viewed dynamically. Often they used in teaching situations to animated explanations of concepts processes. were initially based upon proprietary paper and digital pen technology. The project outlined here augments design by using tablet PC as mobile, general purpose capture platform which will interoperate with the existing server system developed Sweden. this is intended achieve both learning research outcomes, linked model for global software development. has completed an initial development phase during prototype been built, consolidation, extension evaluation now underway. origins goals research, methodology adopted, application challenges New Zealand team have faced presented.
