Mythologies of Loss

I have been working on a UOL for Sebastian Groes of LHU to support a topic called Mythologies of Loss. An interesting aspect of this UOL is that a student is able to upload a piece of creative writing to the LD player, but can choose whether to make it available to other students to see. I have done this by setting up 3 proprties. One is a local personal property that represents the uploaded file. There is a second localpersonal property that is monitored by other students. A third property is set up for the student to set if they wish to "publish" the piece, in which case the monitored property is set to the value of the uploaded property. A proplem with this is that once the student has "published" a file, if they wish to "unpublish" it, there doesn't seem to be a way to set the monitored property to null.

PBL UOL

I have been working on the PBL units of learning for Chris Beaumont. The idea was that students would work in teams, and use role properties to share work. I had wanted to use create-new to define a new role for each team. However, this doesn't seem to be handled very well in SLeD, and so I have set up a run for each team. This is OK as long as teams don't need to collaborate with each other.

Back in action

Welcome to the LD4P Blog, which is a continuation of the LD4P Journal. I have started this blog because, as of Christmas 2006, I have lost direct control of the LD4P website as hosted at Hope.

I will also include activity on the D4LD project in this blog.
