Integrated Software Development
1. short feed-back cycles
2. didactics experts are mediators
3. internal and external evaluation
4. integration into teacher education

Goal: develop a typical educational SW
General aspects
• design SW max. general • make SW adaptive
– to educators (local curricula)
– to teachers (certain classes)
– to (individual !) learners• give feed-back
– on each input– on proceeding within
course• exploit technology
Specifically “ReckonPrimer”
• cover all basic reckoning• features for adaption
– define, sequence exercises – adapt, supervise exercises– escape pre-settings any time
• features for feed-back– each input number checked– knowledge space displayed
• complete sets of numbers0 + 3 = 3, 1 + 2 = 3, 2 + 1 =
3, 3 + 0 = 3

adaption: the learner can scape pre-settings any time, and change them
ReckonPrimer
feedback: each input number is checked (white ovals and __ bottom left)

problems
• Design• Beamer• Connectivity• Activities
Experiences from development
• Freedom of choice
• Adoption• Authoring• Design
Future: transfer to developing countries
• implement top-down by local governments– Hardware , basic software (SW) and curricula
• implement learning scenarios bottom-up– show adaptivity of SW to learners– introduce specific authoring tools to teachers– support local exchange of teachers experiences– provide a Web2.0-based support system– refer back to developments at UNU/IIST,
