Team 6 - ABC Pictionary

Idea

A virtual ABC-book to assist in the process of learning to read and write. The application shows pictures and their explanations to the user and teaches how to pronounce the things the pictures represent. The user community may expand the database with words, translations and pictures of their own.

Techniques

ASP.NET

AJAX

C#

Silverlight 3

MsSQL

Possible directions for future development

User sessions, monitoring progress

Specific content to children of different ages or levels of knowledge

Independency of O/S and platform, at least support for different O/S:s, Pocket PC:s etc.

Off-line “lo-fi” version, perhaps distributed via USB drives, for lower performance machines without Internet connection

Assisting in learning to write; touchscreens, webcams, scanners etc. to read and validate input, animations to show correct pencil movement
