A proposal for a resource model found appropriate in other projects in the framework of Documentational Genesis.

1. Mathematical Creativity Squared
Kick-off meeting
Oct 30 – Nov 2, 2013
Athens, Greece (hosted by CTI)
A first proposal for a Model for c-book resources
Valérie Emin, Jana Trgalova (UCBL-IFE)
MCSquared (http://mc2-project.eu) is funded by the European Commission under FP7 (Project no. 610467),
Strategic Objective ICT-2013.8.1 “Technologies and scientific foundations in the field of creativity”

2. C-book resources ?
MCSquared FP7 Project 610467, Kick-off meeting, Oct 30 – Nov 2, 2013, Athens 2

3. What is a resource?
• A set of elements that describe a learning
situation and enable its enactment in a
classroom, among which:
– Artifacts and material supporting teacher’s activity:
IWB, teacher preparation sheet…
– Artifacts and material supporting learner’s activity:
e-book, worksheet…
– Instructions for use of the artifacts and their
functionalities

4. Why a resource model?
• A resource model for
– Resource designers
• Design guide
• Support in making explicit c–book specific features and
functionalities (widgets…) used in the resource
– Resource users
• Support n resource appropriation (cross-experimentation)
– Researchers
• Monitoring and comparing experiments

10. Towards a common resource model ?
Need to adapt this model to integrate…
• Creativity elements and needs for evaluation
• Community elements:
– CV of the resource, portfolio, reports of uses, CoP/CoI
implied…
• Technical specificities of c-book, widgets and
devices (mobile, multi-touch…)
• Learning analytics needs
