Online editors using SVG

http://svg-edit.googlecode.com/svn/branches/2.5.1/editor/svg-editor.html

Could be used in a hi-fi prototype and maybe in a finished application since it outputs XML.

Feedback from Presentation


  • How are we going to incorporate motivational aspects into our design? ie, what encouragement/inducement is there for the child to attempt the task
  • How are we going to encourage completion of tasks?
    • Introducing an element of competition?
    • Reward completion of tasks (some kind of area where avatars of those completed are shown?) Reward for completing the task early?
  • Encourage working as a class
    • Generate some kind of end piece based on whole class' work (collage? T-shirt design?)
  • How are we going to make it fun?
    • Avatars? Changing based on progress?
  • How are we going to facilitate the process of learning beyond what a standard application of this type does?

It was considered that we could produce a mind map to expand some of these ideas.

Also we discussed removing the 'like,' button from the entry of the person who wrote it in order that they cannot 'like,' their own work.
