On June 3, 2010, the Computer History Museum hosted a 6-session conference on the PLATO learning system. Session 3 was entitled “PLATO Software: Driven by a Clear, Compelling Challenge.” Session 3 Description: The software architecture of the PLATO Learning System permitted high interactivity with hundreds of users and a TUTOR programming language that enabled faculty (and gamers) to write their own interactive graphics programs. These capabilities required close management of scarce system resources. Learn how it all worked in this discussion with panelists: Dr. Robert Rader, Dr. Bruce Sherwood and Michael Walker. Steve Gilmor moderated the panel. PLATO Overview: PLATO was a centralized, mainframe-based system, with very sophisticated terminals connected to it. Its mission was to deliver education electronically at low cost. But it became much, much more than that. It quickly became home to a diverse online community that represented a microcosm of today’s online world. Much of what we take for granted in today’s hyper-active, always-on world of social media, blogs, and addictive computer games could be applied to what life was like on the PLATO system beginning in the mid-1970s. PLATO, an acronym standing for “Programmed Logic for Automated Teaching Operations,” started as a project of the Coordinated Sciences Laboratory (CSL) at the University of Illinois in 1960.

www.DDAVideo.com was contacted by Educational Management Solutions to create a medical training video that was both educational and engaging. EMS is a leader in teaching and evaluating medical skills. They do so by creating software and other tools that aid in the education and testing of medical personnel. DDA Video went on-location to the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine to shoot footage of students using EMS software that simulated dealing with patients and family members in a high-stress medical setting. The main focus of the video is the education of caregivers about end-of-life scenarios. While the EMS software tracked each students progress, DDA’s crew members collected footage that would later be used in this educational video. DDA also performed video interviews, gathered testimonials, edited and titled the videos, and produced high quality DVDs at their post production house.

This is our entry for the “I am Free Enterprise” video contest. Our team (Alyssa Dugan, Tristan Dugan, Jared Dugan, and Sean Dugan) is starting a software company called Honor Education. Our first project is Forge, a virtual world creation suite for kids and teens. It includes tools to design, model, animate, and program 3D worlds, games, and movies. Forge is designed to foster creativity and learning as well as to be fun and intuitive to use. We envision becoming a large company employing several hundred people in a wide range of fields including software engineers, web developers, graphic artists, and educators. We hope to make Northeast Indiana, specifically Fort Wayne, a hub for educational technology. Hope you enjoy the video!

This video was taken from a session in the Informatics 121 Software Design class at UC Irvine taught by André van der Hoek. The tablet pc’s, coupled with our software tool Calico, have enabled students in our Software Design class to become active participants in engaged, studio-like settings rather than passive observers. This video gives an inside look into the change in group dynamics that tablet technology has brought to our classroom. For more information, you can visit our website: calico.ics.uci.edu
