Abstract

Designing digital technologies for deep learning is a highly non-trivial enterprise. In this paper, we discuss one approach we have adopted that seeks to exploit the possibility of affording diverse layers of engagement that exploit the interconnectivity available on the web. In a nutshell, we describe a system that offers learners the possibility of engaging with difficult scientific and mathematical ideas without the necessity of interacting with complex layers of symbolic code – while making that interaction available at all times.
