Game Logic in Moodle Online Game Learning
looking for a way to allow students, to transfer between School A, to School B, and then to school C, and to different courses within each school. so as to allow, temporary enrollment, this is to allow tournaments and competitions, group work, between students not located in the same school. assumption K-12 and collage classes.
i am looking for a way, to allow "shared teaching" teacher in school A, teacher in school B, and teacher in school C ((all 5th grade math class teachers)), being able to share a single course. were all students from each school can get together. and be split up into a wider variety of groups. each teacher would be responsible for there direct students in there class. but shared. workload. and allowing shared workload to be also offset by students themselves. helping one another (learning / teaching one another).
in most online games, it takes a min amount of players. (purely guessing) a min of 1000 to 2000 players. so as to have enough players that are just starting, and those further along within the game. so as to allow a wider spread of knowledge and movement through the game. (no single player really at exact same level), each player is allowed to advance at there own pace. but they have peers both lower and higher in level and how far they went through game. as a result players are allowed to ask questions with folks that have went through it, some that are currently going through it, and some that have not yet went through some quests or like in a game.
most online games, allow players to choose a "clan" or group of folks. different folks seek different clans for this or that reason. most younger kids, are generally helped / couched / encouraged by upper members, and generally frowned upon in just going in and finish out a quest for the younger folks. (cheating the system), but rather help move through through a given quest. and giving them directions were to find info. but not actually doing it for the student, ((partial reason quest system will not allow another player to finish a quest for another player)).
in brick and mortar schools. say a school district has 1000 students split between K - 12, and split between 1 to 5 actual school buildings, say there is 100 8th graders, of that 100, students get split up into 20 to 40 chunks of students. so as to be able to assign them a given physical classroom with a teacher in it. i have hard time understanding how peer to peer learning / teaching can happen in smaller groups. were everyone is near same level of knowledge same skill sets. due to teacher is more or less forced to keep class together and bring all the students as one massive group through things. if you fall behind... does entire class slow down? if you are ahead of class what do you do? in this respect, i do not see how smaller group of folks, can allow for a much wider spread of knowledge / skill sets. and allow for peer to peer learning / teaching ((errr gaming)) there is not enough spreading of students at different skill levels and knowledge.
how do you go from old school brick and mortar school. were it is 1 teacher to say 30 students per class. to 100's of teachers, and 1000's of students. and allow for wider spread of knowledge? "working alone" or "working in a group" or "working in a much larger country to world wide group"
how would mooodle be setup in a "decentralized" network setup, allow for massive multiplayer online learning / teaching / gaming?
virtial reality 3D FPS (first person shooter) / RPG (role play game)
up to this point i have pretty well "set in my ways" of wanting to keep things text and 2D. so as to allow information to reach more folks. more so, focus placed on say blind / deaf / color blindness / and other disabilities / learning disabilities.
if you were able to go into a 3D game. and goto MATHY VILLAGE. and goto KING's Quatom Hut, and watch other folks, pushing numbers around, shoot numbers, as they went through math equations. would this be useful? i am not talking about "web conference software" or "white board" software, were teacher draws / types stuff up in front of class so everyone can see, but rather. an area inside a 3D virtual world. were you could see a little pop-up above folks heads. with a question of like 3+3 =? and then a moment later 3+3= 6 would appear before there head. and then something happening. perhaps on a larger equation 2 x A / ( B - 2) = 34. and seeing the person work the math out above there character head. other words, many math teachers require you to show your work as you work stuff out. but this does not really help showing other folks. when a student does it on paper. the paper is only going to be seen by the student and teacher. what could be done. in a gaming environment. that would show everyone's "show work" as they went through things? this is not about getting correct answer, but rather how things were done / achieved. kinda of like "skill trades" were needing live hands on training out in the job field are required.
