Hello Hilaire Thank you for the short summary what authentic learning is and the conclusions what this means for a Dynabook implementation. You conclude that Dynabook's tools should support using authentic documents. I think that in practice this means that DOCX and ODT documents should be supported in some way. The Dynabook tools should generate DOCX/ODT documents and also read them. [1] The cnx repository (https://cnx.org/) for learning materials allows the author to use DOCX/ODT documents to upload content. There is the requirement that a particular style sheet is used. [2] For Dr. Geo it will probably mean that it can read and write DOCX/ODT documents which follow some conventions. The same might also apply for HTML. I am also doing investigations in JSON based Jupyter notebooks as you can see in another thread. That might be an easier option though only 'authentic' for a more limited though large audience. --Hannes [1] DOCX - the main file format used by Microsoft Word. ODT for LibreOffice. Compatibility is OK if you go for a subset of commonly supported functions. More than sufficient for Dynabook. LibreOffice 6.1 now supports easy production of epub books. [2] Mainly requiring the built in titles styles to be used and then there is a style for code. With this you can achieve a lot. On 8/23/18, Hilaire <hilaire@drgeo.eu> wrote:
Hi,
A few notes on how Dynabook and authentic learning methodology could be related.
