Final Project Ideas

My idea for a final convergence project is a type of multimedia online learning environment that would bring together video, blogging, games, and a database structure. The target audience for this would be students in grades K-12 looking for ways to help themselves better understand various topics in their coursework. It would be a site broken down into grade levels and subject areas with online video tutorials, games and quizzes, and a chat or blog section where students can ask questions about what they're learning. There would be learning objectives for each grade level and students could view the tutorials and test themselves with games and quizzes until they master the subject matter being presented. They would have user accounts where they could track their progress. This information could be shared with parents and teachers, or kept for the student's own use. If the state of Massachusetts were to fund such a program, they could have materials online that would teach students everything they need to know to pass state achievement tests.
