Abstract

The LearningWorks project began in 1994 and has slowly evolved, with its first major deployment in 1998 as the delivery environment for the new first course in Computing Science, M206, from the Open University, UK. The purpose of this short paper is to introduce the motivation and status of the project. We introduce the LearningBook user model and the programming framework, and then follow with a summary of a team-based curriculum in which students can work together to create simulations in a virtual reality world.
