CED 553 - An Immersive Experience in a Virtual Learning Community

The Logic System

This activity requires the use of a modifiable platform to load questions in so that participants can answer questions that will lead them down different paths based on their choice. Here is a picture of what I used and I'm not sure if it is the correct platform:

For the first assignment I decided to try to teach 6-8th graders about the British Monarchy.  Although the content is minimal, it is a stepping stone that can lead to a larger database of questions. I decided to start with the different names of the families that have been in the British monarchy since it began in 1603 (The Stuarts, The Hanoverians,  Saxe-Coburg- Gotha and The House of Windsor).  The next level would consist of the number of kings and queens from each family, followed by specific details about each of the specific kings and queens in the four different families.  This would lead to branching off and the enabling of question creation based on the number of choices given. 

I decided that using five choices would be best as four would be good choices and one would be the bad choice.  Depending on the choice it would lead the learner to the next level of questions, which would be the number of kings and queens in four different families.  This would then take students to a the third level, which would lead them to specific information about each king and queen in the different families and then it would go from there.

I'm not sure if I went wrong with using too many choices but as I said, this is a first attempt.

I managed to put in the note cards for the good and bad choices for the different families into what I thought was the modifiable platform but could not get it to work.  I tried and tried to no avail.  Hopefully I will gain more insight into where I went wrong in our class meeting tonight and will discover where I went wrong and be able to correct it.
