Contextual Menu


This page contains a collection of ideas relevant for e-Cel development. From the ActiveMath perspective, the following are deemed to be relevant:

Content Provision

  • Structuring of LO's in order for them to be easily usable for the lecturer during the lecture
  • Structuring of LO's such that they are easily findable by students after the lecture
  • Support for structuring LO's as a book after the lecture (Assembly tool, 'macro pages')
  • Potentially enhanced metadata ('suitable for classroom use')
  • Semi-automatic generation of LO's from chalkboard display

Content Usages

  • Import of LO's into the chalkboard (as image?) (The action of importing could help Contextualize)
  • Simplified (maybe visual?) search on dedicated LO's
  • Generic search on AM content DB
  • Dynamic fetching of supportive content
  • Maybe make dedicated items available to students before/during the lecture (-> Personal annotations)
  • (Assembly Tool to structure stuff)

External systems

  • Integration of Macauley / Singular (CoCoA?)
  • Domain-viewer applet (I/O, granularity, D&D)
  • surfex/surfer integration
  • Connection to clix to synch learner model

Annotation of eChalk output

  • semiautomatic? (Keep track of imported LO's)
  • generate links from pdf -> Activemath, Activemath -> pdf (clix...)

I/O lecturer - Students

  • Poll? Anonymous communication...
  • Feedback for lecturer regarding LO's

Here's a more informal mindmap about e-Cel ideas:
