Approaches to Processes of Building in Software Construction Kits
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a genre of software construction kits characterized by two main processes: players’ building of objects from graphical elements, and the software’s activation of the constructions. Five kits demonstrate a range of techniques for constructing objects. Different approaches to construction may address different thinking and learning styles.

Designing Building Processes in Software Construction Kits
We have developed a genre of software construction kits and a framework for developing them, which is both conceptual and structural. The kits are highly graphical and highly interactive. They are characterized by two main processes: players’ building of objects from graphical elements, and the software’s activation of the constructions. The existing kits demonstrate a range of interaction desi...

We have developed a genre of software construction kits and a framework for implementing them. The framework is both conceptual and structural. Its conceptual aspect derives from constructivist learning theory, and its structural aspect extends the Java Abstract Windowing Toolkit. This framework, called the “Kit4Kits,” supports generation of software kits that are highly graphical and highly in...

متن کاملBoda blocks: a collaborative tool for exploring tangible three-dimensional cellular automata
Construction kits like traditional building blocks provide excellent media for face-toface collaborative interaction. The complexity and expressive power of these kits are increasingly being augmented with computational elements like controllable lights, motors and sounds. This paper introduces a computationally enhanced set of building blocks, Boda Blocks, which allows for collaborative intera...
متن کاملThe Earliest Architectural Remains of the Islamic Era in Kashan: Form, Structure, and Construction Technique of the Minaret of the Jame‘ Mosque
The architectural remains of the past can be studied from different perspectives and with different approaches. Architectural form, structures, construction techniques, decorations and details of buildings, and their evolution through time are general issues that can be examined. In addition to the monuments, some elements of historical architecture are also worthy of consideration because of t...
