I have been looking at so many learning apps and different design, some for kids some more mature learning for specific subjects. when it come to the look of things its fine i can deal with it but when its about teaching someone, it get a little more complicated specially when its about science….
We got a presentation explaining the kerb cycle, looked at the important part of it, we even got the email conversation between Terry and Neville. Still, I looked on line at some diagrams of the cycle ask and talked with friends who have studied theses areas and watch video to try to understand and find what should be most important to learn in the kerb cycle. than went to look for different techniques of teaching science and other disciplines to get an idea on how things are done, i think this is really important for this type of tools to really facilitate the pupils and i do know it takes years to really lay out a lesson no matter the subject….in a way, i have a hard time understanding how are we supposed to decide what would work best or the students knowing that most of us never studied science, what would they want, what it should look like….?
I find out from a friend that statistically things would be easterly memorised when on green….
here the start of my mess…
and more
than started looking at the flow chart…
and how i would like it to look like:
here is what i am going for:
than the type of exercise, fill in the gaps exercise to learn how to spell the name of the different stage cycle…
and also pronunciation of the words:
i thought to have this into lessons from basic to harder exercises, once a lesson is completed the next is unlock:
the users would be allowed 3 mistakes in each lessons represented by the 3 little test tube, top left conner:
well done…
try again…
at the bottom is a bar to keep track as the user evokes through the lesson…
the Lab would be where the user can check is results and access other setting options of the app:
and here is the rest of the screens designed for the flow chart:
I than had a go at invasion app and pop app, unfortunately that pop app is really not working for me….so,….invision it is, try it out:
well if it is too boring for you here is a little animation showing how the app would work:
i than looked at different possibilities to present my app design…
and finally…
