The document outlines a timeline and progress for the development of an interactive learning platform called iSlate, which will provide textbook content, interactive tutorials, game mechanics for rewards, and opportunities for mentorship and collaboration between students in India and a literacy program in the US. It identifies several areas of focus for the iSlate experience and requests help with user experience design, visual design, development, and identifying compelling interactive content from textbooks.

- 3. Key Insights
- 4. Web-based learning stats Salman Kahn The Kahn University provides video tutorials for asynchronous learning and a powerful layer of analytics for educators. Take Away: 1. Provide progress analytics to educators and share partial information with mentors. http://www.ted.com/talks/salman_khan_let_s_use_video_to_reinvent_education.html
- 5. Jen "Youtube has no Jen" - Jane McGonigal Jane McGonigal Little acts of humanity / unreciprocated kindness. Confucius, adapted by neuroscientists at UC Berkley to describe what rewards us with pleasure. Take Away: Create a high Jen environment by creating interactions built around encouragement. Starting at 4:35 http://boingboing.net/2009/03/31/boing-boing-video-ja.html
- 6. Game Layer Schools are the perfect game system Seth Priebatsch - Motivated players - Challenges - Rewards But they are poorly designed A good mechanic would not have kids loose (go from a B to a C because of a bad day at the exam) Take Away: Focus on the positive and level up Gain experience points, all the time Based on how many points you get, you level up quicker to better grades, but it's progressively better. http://sxsw.com/interactive/live? channelId=cd9352c56cd84781aaf17879de88ac6b&channelListId&mediaId=c01fd4dd21b349a38320c08c4bcaf9e5
- 7. Student-Guided Learning Students working with computers in Sugata Mitra groups show unprecedented results in learning - even in languages they do not yet speak. Take Away: 1. The Granny System (have an army of empowering mentors whose job it is to tell students they are GREAT!) 2. Organize students in groups for learning new issues, instead of a traditional 1:1 ratio between students and screens http://www.inspiration.com/blog/2011/03/inspire-student-guided-learning-with-the-reaches-of-technology-2/
- 8. Art / Literacy Program 826LA provides a powerful mentorship 826LA program that goes beyond studying student curriculums. Take Away: 1. Provide an Art/Literacy component a part of the iSlate experience. http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/ dave_eggers_makes_his_ted_prize_wish_once_upon_a_school.html
- 9. Progress
- 10. iSlate
- 16. 1. Mentorship Experience Mentors can - Sponsor students - See basic progress data - Send encouragements Other features - Show progress of the program overall Help needed with: - User Experience Design - Wireframes - Visual Design - Development
- 17. 2. iSlate Interface 1/3 of screen is reserved for textbook content - this will be exactly like in the text books and always on 2/3 discretionary screen real estate contains: * a scratch pad (current complaint: it's too small) * auxiliary information / interactive experience / tutorials Help needed with: - User Experience Design - Wireframes - Visual Design
- 18. 3. Interactive Textbooks Identify key content segments best suited for interactive experiences and design interactive learning experiences. a/ Basic Science * e.g. show human digestive tract in biology lesson * spinning globe visual for geography b/ Social Science * History * Geography c/ Math / Arithmetic Help needed with: - Identifying compelling content segments in text books - User Experience Design - Wireframes
- 19. 4. Game Mechanics Create a fun and compelling reward system using points, levels and a badge system. Tie in with the art program (students with faster progress may spend more time communicating with students at 826LA) Help needed with: - Design overall game rules / system - Reward structure - User flows and wire frames
- 20. 5. Moving beyond Textbook Content Students at 826LA will communicate weekly with students in schools across India that have access to iSlates. The students will co-author a book which will be published and shipped to all participants. Help needed with: - Detailed project definition - Remote facilitation of project
- 21. Thank you.
