DISCUSSION: Many pieces of this project have been solved, e.g. rendering astronomical images in browser. These pieces have not yet been composed into a web application, mostly because it requires very high bandwidth to operate well. This project is ripe for a weekend hack, since these solved components will be connected into a cohesive application. | DISCUSSION: Many pieces of this project have been solved, e.g. rendering astronomical images in browser.

=== Team Idea 21: Learning Map 101 === | |||
WHAT: Connect all types of learning in easy to navigate paths for personalized, lifelong learning. | |||
Most educational resources and tools focus on classrooms and courses, while many people learn through hands-on experiences and through informal learning....YouTube came up as the #1 place to go to learn something in our intergenerational research. We are building a connected learning toolkit that embeds 50+ types of media, people, places and resources and allows experts to curate unique learning paths. We are designing this toolkit to connect the entire open educational web with the wide variety of games, videos and other content resources that are useful for learning. Applications include: workforce training and skillbuilding for 21st century jobs, continuing education for those who are displaced or otherwise out of formal learning systems, mobile learning for adults and eventually classroom use. For this weekend hackathon we are looking for engineering and coding talent in javascript and jQuery, HTML5 and rich media embeds along with specialists in API integration and database architectures. We want to change our perceptions of learning quickly through visual tools that show the wide variety of ways we can learn for those who find that they prefer games, videos or meetups to articles, courses or university programs. Long term we want to personalize the user experience and integrate the learning paths with open badges and certification programs for demonstrating lifelong progress and skill development, allowing individuals to demonstrate their variety of expertise while giving cities, employers and organizations greater insight into pockets of talent to grow future initiatives. | |||
