All the points =ou're making are right but his gut feeling isn't going to change. A web =age is a web page. Adding a video here and there doesn't make it feel =ike a simulation. I think the web page has the right stuff -- emails with tasks, =ehind-the-task support, general resources, and a place to submit work =- but it doesn't feel like a simulation because it's all there all at =nce. There's no "ready to start? - yes - bing! you've got mail!" =o both focus attention and introduce the sense of action. I think we can do better without a lot of work. Maybe in =ana's revamp Hana? I can help but not full time. I have 2 classes =tarting this week, in software development, with a lot of =entoring. New design (old content): When you, a student, =irst start a task, all you see is a mentor box asking "are you =eady?" You click yes. Your simulated in-box appears, then bing! =ew email arrives. ` You open and read the email. You click Acknowledge. ` A =entor box appears. It briefly summarizes the tasks. You click "I got =t." 2 EFTA_R1_01761232 EFTA02583133 Later, we should add "I got questions" The mentor box now says "I've got some tips for this task. Also =here's stuff you should read up on." The tabs for plan of attack and resources appear. They're highlighted until you click them the first =ime. After this point, things look the way they do now. This =nly happens when you first start each a task. When you return you can =eview the emails and the other tabs without going through the =tages. This should also improve demoing. This is after 10 minutes thought, mostly while driving to =ork r 25, 2014 at 5:36 AM, roger schank =span dir="ltr"> <mailt > wrote: fyi Begin forwarded =essage: =ate: April 25, 2014 =:35:00 AM EDT =ubject: Re: learning from =xperience is best done in simulation first; when it matters money =as been spent on god simulations (air flight; tanks fighting etc); we =ave built what we call social (as oppose to physical) simulation for =usiness and military -- it is how I make a living); they are not =hysical experiences, and keeping costs down is always an issue, but =hey seem real enough but computer science is very different; if you want to =uild something in CS there is nothing to simulate since the computer is =oing that naturally; you are already in the real environment; the =omputer speaks a language and you must learn it; if I wanted to teach you a foreign language (which I =ave done too) I could put you in that country in simulation and you =ould try talking; still to start you would need to learn some words =irst; our language programs assumed you knew some already but you dont =now any HTML; so you must learn it first; since books have done this, =e hae no need to replicate them; so this not representative of what we =sually build; we already have a computer that speaks he langguage; we =ont already have a simulated medical or legal environment for example =o we would have to build it and then we could throw you in 3 EFTA_R1_01761233 EFTA02583134 On Apr 24, 2014, at 10:15 PM, Jeffrey Epstein =rote: and the =iffereence in reading the old school book and trying it =ut.? . with a tutor. ?
