Hi, I have a simple question: Is this work usable within 3-9 months to create an experimental interactive teaching system for sound at the college level? I'm predicting that your answer is "it depends". If so, let me briefly explain what I want to do.
I'm replying to grant solicitations from both NEA (SEP2011) and NSF (Mar2012) with a proposal to develop an interactive application that allows students to interact with physical laws that provide the foundation of sound and one that enables the student to experiment with acoustical properties of musical instrument building blocks such as pipes, reeds and tubes, etc. There is more to the proposal, but this is the gist of it. My first inclination is to use Squeak, but then I began thinking that perhaps this work might be a better choice, depending on the progress and tools available (I've read the published status reports.) I don't want to be in the mode of establishing a system from the ground up. But, I do want to be in the realm of leveraging and tailoring a suitable multimedia system that could be used for interactive sound courses (the musical acoustics one mentioned above being the first). And, I'm not adverse to getting down to low levels to assist if it serves my goal and helps others. If this sounds positive, where would I start and who could I talk to to get started? Thanks for your time and any advice that you could offer, Brad Fuller _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list [email protected] http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
