2. c-books production
The M C Squared project is creating beyond
state-of-the-art tools for the collaborative design of
digital online educational materials. The focus is on
Social Creativity in the design of a new kind of
mediation intended to enhance Creativity in
Mathematical Thinking; we call it 'the c-book' (c is for
creative). The c-book is a digital medium, which
extends e-book technologies to
a) contain Widget instances from diverse Widgets,
b) support collaborative asynchronous on-line design
and authoring (the content of a c-book can easily be
changed)
c) afford configurable Learning Analytics, allowing
each learner’s behaviour and learning outcomes to be
analyzed, in order to give individualized learning
feedback.
The c-book author and player is available in six
different languages (Greek, English, French,
Spanish, German, Dutch). Project c-book productions
contain diverse Widget Factories such as Cinderella,
E-Slate, Geogebra, Malt+, EpsilonWriter, among
others.
Social Creativity
The outcomes of the M C Squared project are the result
of the joint work of a network of interdisciplinary
researchers and practitioners operating as a
socio-technical environment.
Social Creativity is supported at two different levels:
Through the design process: four different
Communities of Interest (CoIs) in four different
countries - including diverse creative profiles
(technology developers, creative industries,
researchers specialized in creativity in math
education, math teachers and students) - fuel the
development of the c-books.
Through the product itself: authorability and
communication features enable users to achieve a
collective constructive work.
Innovation
M C Squared brings together an exceptional
combination of features in a unique Constructionist
Environment affording Creative Mathematical
Thinking:
Widget consistency and diversity
Authoring of content and feedback.
Interoperability: c-book resources allow the
inclusion of Widgets from different authoring
systems (Widget factories).
Original activities and new way to mesh reading
with mathematical expressivity: c-books are
thought to never reach an end, to be used, re-mixed,
expanded and exchanged.
Learning analytics functionality provides designers
and users with data to evaluate and understand
progresses and trends quickly and easily.
Multilingual system: c-books are available in six
different languages.
Collaboration tools: the c-book environment
allows designers/teachers to collaboratively design
student c-books through chat facility, wiki
functionality and threaded forum functionalities.
Extensibility: open communication protocol
supports the integration of further Widget
Factories.
