The Thranio Project


"Thranio": Reusable software components for the authoring of high quality educational software for investigational activity
General Secretariat for Research and Technology, E.P.E.T. II, Project No 78, 1999-2001

Identity:

This project resembled YDEES, in that it involved an integrated approach to developing software for innovative educational activity. However, new generic components were developed by the lab-CTI group collaboration (Chart, Set). For the first time, some new custom-use components were developed from scratch by other partners using the E-slate platform. Also for the first time, some secondary development (by non-technical users) was carried out to connect components in creative ways, a set of educational scenarios was documented and some of them were tried out in two of our research schools, the newly-formed Psychico College and Karavanas middle schools. Some evaluation - oriented observational data was used as evidence for the reporting of the school activities.
