Well since this is not completely set in stone yet, here is what I have so far for my project proposal. Man I hope I am not going to kill myself by going overboard on this one.
The Problem to Solve:
Most things I have noticed seem to be a design problem, so I would have to guess that whatever problem I will be solving will be design related. So the proposed problem set for solution is to create, improve design, and over all build for a site for learning the basics traditions of learning Italian sword play. As far as I know, a site like this one does not exist at all really. There is a lot of information out there about what to do and the resources to find them, but nothing that is really formidable in how to do it and I shall attempt to make it so.
Topic of Learning:
The proposed topic to learning is going to be based on learning the basics of footwork, posture, and sword work in Italian Sword Play/Fencing. The information will be derived from translations of an Italian manuscript that was written in 1409 by Fiore dei Liberi called the Flos Duellatorum (Flower of the Battle) .
Technologies to use for eLearning project:
- The platform will be web based
- Possibly even be accessible by mobile as well (need to figure out how to do that)
- Programming and markup languages that will be implemented will more than likely be a little bit of a lot of things such as: XHTML, CSS for style, possible JavaScript, quite possibly Action Script (for Flash). The technologies used will depend on the final decision on the delivery of the information.
- Perhaps video as it is a very visual activity.
- Authoring Applications used will be possible Flash, more than likely WordPress, XHTML, CSS, maybe JavaScript
So there you have it. Again, hopefully I will be able to do this one effectively and without too much trouble.
