CNETID1 CNETID2 Learning Content
The purpose of this exercise is to define the learning content in your game.
You need to choose what subject you are going to teach (mathematics, programming,
history, ethics, finance, etc.), what age group you are targeting, and what
specific aspects of that subject you are going to tackle. You need to show that
you understand the educational aspects of this course, especially learning
trajectories and the gradual, stairstep nature of teaching / learning a
subject.
You are going to present a design that is more complete than what you are going
to be expected to implement. For your design, imaging that you have a full
design and implementation team, so implementation time is not a constraint.
You will later carve out a subset of this design to complete for this course.
Keep in all the html. Place in your design directory of your repository.
You and your partner fill in your CNETIDs - you only need to submit to one of your
svn repositories.
Summarize your content area in 1-2 paragraphs.
Describe the age of your user and the skills that you assume the user already has
(that is relevant to your content). Your user must be in at least 3rd grade.
Describe what skills you are going to teach your user.
Diagram a learning trajectory for this subject that starts with existing relevant
skills on the left-most side and progresses through knowledge they would learn
in a game like yours (your game won't need to cover all of this).
Describe your sources and methodology for creating your learning trajectory. It
cannot be just made up yourself - you need to draw upon existing examples or
justify the reasons why you have created it in that way.
