Activities:


The activities that are being undertaken in the project can be grouped into five tasks:

T1 Design of experimental scenarios
Task description: The definition of experimental scenarios will be undertaken in an iterative design cycle in order to determine the necessary elements taking into account various factors including computational cost.

T2 Desing and implementation of the architecture
Task description: A requirements analysis of the requirements is undertaken and a specification produced. From this specification three prototypes and one final version of the architecture will take place.

T3 Design and implementation of an authoring tool
Task description: A tool will be designed and constructed that facilitates the design of experimental scenarios and their implantation. Using a generic language which defines the type of elements that can be used in an experimental scenario,
an interface based on visual elements is automatically generated that will allow the designer (author) to create and generate these scenes in a flexible and automatic way.

T4 Design of an application with the development of contents and the integration of tools
Task description: The creation of educational scenarios by modelling the contents in an educational markup language. The way in which the available tools can be used in the scenarios will be explored to improve integration.

T5 Organization of experiences with users, teaching evaluation
Task description: Evaluation will be undertaken in the different development phases in the project in order to obtain detailed data of what modifications are possible so that the functionality of the system can be improved.

These tasks have dependencies with each other, which are reflected in Figure 1. The nodes represent the tasks, and the labels of the arrows denote the results that the originating task provides to the destination task.
