webtank.org uses
the TRACE Cognitive Model and Knowledge
Processor (pat. pend.) to support multi-authoring, distributed
project planning, and design. Applications planned include support
for the "technology of the future" component of a 9th
and 10th grade cross-disciplinary high school, web-enabled science
curriculum, and future customization to support life cycle mission
design. Click here to preview the science curriculum webtank
under development (intranet site) |
