Foil 40 Exploratorium versus Structured Learning

From Master Foilset for Technologies and Issues for Virtual University HPDC95/SC95 Tutorials -- August 1/Dec 4 1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
The GIS based Interactive Journey can typically be used as a structured learning tool with a planned journey navigating in a structured way through spatially located multimedia information
This is contrasted with browsing our InfoVision archives which is set up as an Exploratorium with only general principles such as
  • "discover all you can about the Civil War"
guiding students through archives
  • Actually limited available digital video currently imposes artificial structure but this will go away
One can of course provide structure by imposing non-spatial navigation paths through Exploratorium archives
