Yesterday Dale and I met with Patrick White and Sue Habib from VU Building Design. It was a fruitful discussion, with the following outcomes:
A. Mobile phone project
- delivery set for shortly after return from Easter break, (Monday May 2nd for TAFE)
- will be to 2 groups of 18 students. Each group to have 6 teams of 3 students each using a phone. Class length is 3 hours.
- to be in the form of a competition. As per library, if wrong answer is chosen, 1 minute delay occurs before sts being able to try again. (Possibility of annoying animation/sound if they get it wrong?)
- up to 20 question sets. Each set to have initial multiple choice question about the building style. Some will have follow on questions, some not....this will depend on the complexity of the style and similarity to other styles.
- GPS to trigger questions when buildings are reasonably far apart. If too close, questions will be triggered by completion of previous set, with new instructions (eg...'go three houses down to 136 Williamstown Road')
- sts to refer to text book on location. Library has 15 copies.
- sts likely to car pool.
- we will work out a 'loop' of locations, with groups starting at random at various points until they complete the loop.
- everyone to meet up at a cafe afterwards?
B. Virtual world activity
- to occur in Semester 2 (times tbc)
- focus on building framing, trusses etc
- students to go into virtual world and answer questions on building houses, triggering animations of things being built (aka Construction). Likely to leverage construction buildings currently being built by Craig.
- Patrick to finalise assessment details for this activity
- possibility of sts observing entire process of house being built as animation. Could be in-world and/or exported as machinima, stills
- Patrick to develop exercise details by mid March
