The document provides a weekly progress report for a group project called Matri(x) that is developing an application to enhance learning using IT. It discusses the tasks divided among the group members including literature research, application development, documentation, and report writing. It summarizes key findings from the literature on timing instruction, meeting deadlines, and addressing disagreements between students. Screenshots are included and the group plans to finalize the application and literature research, continue writing the report, conduct questionnaires, and begin the final video.
