Motivation

• 5.5% of school-aged children in the U.S. received special education for a learning disability

• Working memory functions play a key role in student's ability to learn. Working memory refers to the ability to store and manipulate information for brief periods of time.

• Correlation between working memory measures and achievement have been found to range between .55 and .95.

• Program designed to enhance working memory capacity and executive skills in 7 to 9 year old children

Memory and Executive Skills in Youth with Learning Disorders*

Informally called “Learning Disabilities Cognition” or “LDCog”

Process1. Cognitive Design

– Memory exercise interspersed with problems

– Game dynamics to improve engagement

2. Creative Design– PowerPoint Prototypes– Agile Development

3. Technical Design– HTML5 (used Adobe Edge)– Private Cloud / Web Service

Architecture4. Experimental Design

– Testing in schools

Game Architecture• Developed in HTML5

using Adobe Edge• Game dynamics

implemented using JavaScript

• Hosted in private cloud• Desktop client used

Web services to get and report data

Cloud Architecture

3/30/2012

ORCAS Web Server VM - Web pages and services

Router - passes web requests to the cloud gateway VM.

Gateway VM - proxy requests to other VMs. Single web entry point.

DB server VM - houses data. Not available to outside access. Physical machines

running cloud

End user accessing service through web browser

Architectural Advantages:

1. Maintenance: Can make updates more easilyAided by rapid web service

development framework

2. Separation: Can reuse services separately3. Security: Can protect identity more easily4. Elasticity: Can scale up and down quickly

Using the Cloud for Learning: The Grand Vision

3/30/2012

“Bob” is the user*

Data and content are stored in the cloud

Bob use services that live in the cloud.

Bob’s services access other cloud services

Some may know about Alice and Charlie

Some know about Bob

*He may be your uncle, too.

HTML5 Experience• Chosen for cross-platform

capabilities• Used Adobe Edge

– Good for designers (WYSIWYG)– Good for engineers (usable code /

hooks for custom code)• Used Flash to export multiple

variations on graphics• Challenges

– Playing audio– Synching audio to on-screen events– Slow connection to one school

(downloading background graphics)

• <A> tags do not work well for kids (replaced by buttons)

Conclusions• What worked well– Web service architecture– Rapid application development – Made good use of the tools we knew– CSS3 (all animations are in CSS3)– Live debugging in schools

• Challenges– Multimedia in HTML5 still evolving– Live debugging in schools
