I'm forwarding email from Matt. Matt, I see that you're already added to SAIL-dev, and you have the permission to post. I can't see management for OTrunk-dev so I don't know.

Thanks!

These three step types are: BRAINSTORM, INSTANT POLL, and DISCUSSION. Summaries of all three Step types follow below. Note that all three Step types have the option (author tool setting) to "Display Previous Step". This simply means that the question and student work for a previous step (generally a Note) is shown at the beginning of the new step. It is not editable in any way. Just there to remind the student of something they previously worked on/wrote, to jump start a new group conversation. *Brainstorm step* Overview: This step allows student teams to generate a brainstorm idea in response to a topic/question, then compare their idea with those submitted by their peers. Optionally each team can then vote on their favorite posting (writing an explanation to justify each vote). Eventually the teacher clicks a "Display Vote Results" button which allows the teams to see a display of the most-favored ideas (example: top-three or top-five). Includes anonymous/student name settings and more options. > A functional specification document is available at: http://telscenter.org/confluence/display/TCS/Brainstorm+v3.0 > A visual design document that supports this specification is underway. *Instant Poll step* Overview: A variant of the Brainstorm step. Students are presented with a multi-choice question and each team submits an answer. Once all students have submitted a response, the results are shown as an bar graph. A valuable tool for real-time formative assessment. > A functional specification document and visual design document for this step are underway. *Discussion step* Overview: Student teams write a posting in response to a starting question. Students then see the postings of all other teams (identities anonymous). Each team is prompted to write a response to X number of other teams. Once this task is completed the teams can continue reviewing each other's work, using the threaded forum interface. The teacher has all sorts of nifty controls for monitoring/facilitating this discussion in real-time. Teacher also has the option to sub-group students into smaller teams (using an easy drag-n-drop interface) instead of always having all students participate in a class-wide discussion. > A functional specification document and visual design document for this step are underway. Any questions, please drop me a note.

Can you be more specific about what you want to create? What do you mean by "use a previous step within that step"? I'm guessing you mean a previous step in the project. And what do you want to do with that previous step? Should a report about it be embedded at the top of the Brainstorm step? Does the Brainstorm step need to support multiple workgroups, or is it for just one workgroup? It will be a few months before we can handle multiple workgroups. Scott Anthony Perritano wrote: Hi all, we are in the process of designing the new Brainstorm and Discussion Steps. Brainstorm is a single threaded version of Discussion. One of the key properties of Discussion is that it will use a previous step within that step to start the discussion. so we see a discussion generated around a model, data graph, drawing or even a note. It seems like some of the Otrunk data sharing mechanisms would be useful here. So for this we want to get our feet wet in some code. heres what we thought about. working off of an helloworld example: 1. creating an otrunk version of it. so we can learn how to make a authoring and student view. - HelloOtrunk 2. modifying HelloOtrunk so that it can import datagrahs, drawing etc...... does this sound like a good way to get us going in OT development? glance sessions have been really helpful. maybe Geoff and I can do some with either scott or aaron if available to get us going? -Tony --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SAIL-Dev" group.
