Project Deliverables

1. a well-integrated package of networked functionality capable of supporting and analyzing the results of learning in HubNet.
2. a collection of field-tested participatory simulations covering a range of mathematical and scientific topics.
3. a suite of networked connections to traditional analytic tools (graphing, spreadsheet, etc.) and to powerful systems modeling tools (e.g., STELLA/ProSim and StarLogoT).
4. a Java version of StarLogoT capable of supporting layers of network interaction focused primarily on the classroom but with extensions to intra-school and internet-based interactivity.
5. fundamental research into using participatory simulations as ways into systems learning.
6. a collection of activity design specifications for participatory simulations drawn from our experience that can help guide others in developing new activities.
7. a collection of tools for programming HubNet that would allow the activities and models we develop to be extended or that would allow users to create new participatory simulations.
