− | * Create a single prototype activity which could be used as a template for sugarizing AJAX activities. The GSoC participant should not create her own activity but recreate an existing activity such as one of [http://www.pustakalaya.org/external-content/static/epaath/E-Paath-2.activity/activity/Activity/MenuStage.html OLE Nepal's flash activities].
| |
− | * This prototype should have the following features:
| |
− | ** Simple interactive animation and audio using html5 tags like <canvas> and <audio>
| |
− | ** An assessment section that stores results of student's progress and gives them suggestions on improvement. Assessment info should be persistent.
| |
− | ** Has embedded pdf or pdf like document reader for activity lesson plan and teacher notes.
| |
− | ** Integrates with the Journal
| |
− | ** Navigation and Help elements, ideally reusing widgets from [http://www.jquery.com jQuery]
| |
− | ** Some element of collaboration using Telepathy (This could be really hard, depending on the state of javascript bindings to dbus)

| There are roughly 4 parts to this project plan: first get titanium running on the XO, second create a very simple learning activity with javascript and html5, third get that activity running on the XO in a roughly sugarized version of titanium, fourth extend the activity to take advantage of Sugar-specific features such as the Journal and Collaboration. | | There are roughly 4 parts to this project plan: first get titanium running on the XO, second create a very simple learning activity with javascript and html5, third get that activity running on the XO in a roughly sugarized version of titanium, fourth extend the activity to take advantage of Sugar-specific features such as the Journal and Collaboration. |
