We talked about the project and how to boil it down to someting more concrete.
Some guiding principles:
This will be a tool designed to help students in a typical 300 person lecture hall.
The focus is on helping students collaborate with lecture material as well as with other students.
Very limited student lecturer collaboration because the lecturer attenion is probable is already maxed.
Student/lecturer collaboration has already been explored with clickers and the 2004 Collaboration project.
Possible features;
Must have a laptop and a classroom with wireless.
Students have an online login to a virtual classroom enviroment in which they have an account.
In this is evironment they can take notes. These notes have a time stamp. Can place a ? in the notes which recevies a time stamp. This ? can be seen by other students or by a TA also watching the lexture.
