Pyndorama, Integrating Web Learning System in a Single Application

Notwithstanding all the technology being invested in education, students still have to cope with a massive input of instructional information. However, many insulated initiatives from education community have been put forward. Each initiative by itself may not suffice to change the education landscape. To achieve any noticeable effect, several applications should be brought together into a single application. We propose an enabling technology to involve students in the construction of their own pedagogic content. The idea consists of a game where students participate both as players and constructors of the game. Furthermore, the game provides integration with technologies that allow the insertion of scientific tools and informations in its context. Students using the system, not only can learn the educational content, but meet a laboratory where they can develop a sort of reasoning and social abilities.
