Some ‘critical thinking’ in progress

What sort of mechanisms to try & use?
• Games?
• Prizes?
• Other incentives?
• Learning?

Why a learning-oriented approach?

Aliss and the Curriculum for Excellence
Learning contexts & activities, variants on themes as approp. to different ages & stages, etc.
Potential CfE Touchpoint(s): Experiences & Outcomes
Possible Aliss-related Activity
Compile group project folder – resources found, research validity, develop organisational skills and responsibilities/roles within group.
Discuss/research validity of info - speak to local community centres/church halls hosting classes
Orienteering – map building exercises, create sense of local area – where is nearest community centre?
Bring into art lesson/IT design
Research notes – how
difficult was info to find?
When participating in a collaborative enterprise activity, I can develop administrative and entrepreneurial skills which contribute to the success of the activity.TCH 3-07a
I can explain how the needs of a group in my local community are supported.SOC 2-16a
By exploring my local community, I have discovered the different roles people play and how they can help.SOC 0-16a
Through activities in my local area, I have developed my mental map and sense of place. I can create and use maps of the area.SOC 1-14a
Go out and find various resources locally – make a note/photo what you find.

How might such activities map onto Aliss’ ICT eco-system?
• Data capture?– Web crawler instructions– Manual data capture
• A variety of routes
• Sense-making?
• Data re-presentation?

Sense-making
And ‘Science behind the news’-style semantic mark-up

Try a mental ‘search & replace’ of ‘transport’ with ‘condition management class’?
This working model was built in less than 48 hours…by a team of enthusiasts
Pop-up in clinical systems, support NHS24 call-handling, appear in directories, etc??

Some questions
• Will these approaches work?
• Will they scale?
• How can they be applied and developed further?
• Are there other Aliss-processes that can be ‘mass-participated’?
