Our approach to the development of online resources for students and teachers includes the belief that interactivity can greatly enhance the effectiveness of the resources.
Consequently, we have developed various "server based tools" which may be used by teachers and students to supplement the base set of resources that are online.
The server based tools are:
How can I use these optional tools?
We are making the source code available to anyone who is interested in using these "server based tools" Contact Scott Walde at scott@waldetech.sk.ca and he will make the necessary arrangements as well as provide suggestions as to how to place them on your server.
Also, if you are interested in simply trying them out, we will be running these tools on our division server. Contact Thad Swidzinski at thad@dsd.ca and we can set you up with an administrator account. This will allow you set up an actual group of students and also give you the ability to create and mark questions. Your group of students will also be able to use all of the interactive components such as E mail, chat, and the bulletin board system.
