Assignment 5 (final), Implementing a functional web-based learning environment prototype

Implementing a functional web-based learning environment prototype

Assignment description

Today there are many options for web users to create a website for teaching and learning, a web based learning environment. Users with sufficient technical skills who also have access to web storage/server can set up a self-hosted learning environment and those less technically experienced can use hosted services to set up the learning environment.

Your task is to identify a context and a learning need and to design and implement a functional web-based learning environment prototype that serves your purpose. For instance, you could set up a site for music or language training, a digital portfolio for primary school, a social network for a (fictive) economic or non-profit association. You can also work with a mobile interface, if required by the context you have chosen.

Try to identify a need in which you have previous experience or is of interest to you. You are free to decide whether to build the learning environment either by using self-hosted open sourced software or by using one or more hosted services (e.g. Spruz, Grouply, Youtube, Vcasmo, Wordpress, Google Maps, Google Sites/Groups, Miro Community, SchoolAppKit etc).

If you need advice on what application/s to use, post a question in the Application advice forum.

The prototype you create should be useful and fully functional and utilize common concepts of web 2.0 (e.g. social tagging, collaboration, sharing functionality, web feeds, web widgets etc). All content/information added should either be produced by yourself or be licensed in such a way that you are allowed to redisplay the content. A certain amount of content/information needs to be added, but it is also allowed to use placeholders to some extent.

The prototype design should be described in a design report, see grading criteria below.

Actually I've done it, But since it is a fully designed web based learning environment which I've spent so much time to do it, I do not upload it here! I've just passed it to my professor and got a A score for it. Now it's your turn to do a new thing!
