E-learning first lecture

We had our first E-learning lecture today. Some reading material… Why study education psycology? (cant remember authors name) HCI for kids – A, Bruckman. The lecture made me think of the Panopticon (Dream Building) and how the way social learning is though of.

We were told about the assignment, me and Suzie have paired up for it, we have some awesome ideas already. My first thought was to have a grand piano in 3D and the camera pans over and looks down on the keys, where the top of the piano is that would be where the information about the task would be. The user would be prompted with a piece of music which they would have to play by pressing the correct keys on the piano.

 If the wrong key is pressed then the user is alerted with both audio and visual ques likewise if its correct. There would be different levels to the task, for example if there was a user who could read music very well then they can turn off help.
