Sensor at Co-Creation-Library

The Co-Creation-Libray racks now determine if you are close enough to add an entry via chat. When you are out of the 20m chat range, you will be noticed to stand closer or to shout the messages.

Co-creation Library

Last week lots of work has been done to create a "co-creation-library". The Within Ten Years Library is situated at the Wharf. It has the form of a tree with apple-racks hanging at it, and surrounding it. Every rack will get its own information-theme.

Tomorrow a beta-version of the first rack will be operational: the TWITTER Rack. At this rack you can add your own favorite twitter accounts of which you think they are important for educators and/or students to follow. When a rack is full (16 entries per rack) and you like to add a new entry at the same rack, the last one (the 16th) will be removed.

To make a rack even more dynamic, you can promote an entry and so giving it a higher rank. But you cant promote at the same rack consecutively.

Examples

The vision and mission of Within Ten Years has been sharpened a bit during the last week. In the right column of the WTY-blog you can read the story about the innovation and education simple goal.
The same information has been published at "my digital life".

News Headlines

For all (new) visitors Within Ten Years has a new service. At the landingpoint you can find the latest news about new tools and examples and where to find it at the island. Of course you can browse through older news items.

Interactive Roadmap

Several trends, developments and actions in the future will change our society, and therefore education. A roadmap helps to get insights of future changes, and supports discussion about future education.
Within Ten Years offers an interactive roadmap with which you can share your visions about the future. You can find the interactive roadmap at the second floor of the Main Building. At the moment more than ten statements about the future has been added.
It is visually designed by The Creative Impulse.

Profession of the Future

Think of the future and imagine new professions. Which future profession you, your child or grandchild, will have? Probably a profession that doesn't exist nowadays. Share your idea about future professions at Within Ten Years. You can find the application to share it at the first floor of the Main Building.

Based on the same scripting and database technology we placed a guestbook at the Main Building. Add your personal note about Within Ten Years!.

HUD 1.30

A new version of the HUD is available at the main building. The new HUD shows the teleport locations of the main sectors of Within Ten Years in the main menu. In this way you can teleport faster to the six sectors. The button "Teleport" has been changed into "All Places", so you can still teleport to all separate locations of the island. "My Teleport" has been changed to "My Places".

Retail Display

At the sector The Stack, platform 1, there has been added a Marketing Communication lesson example. Students have to build a Retail Display... but they have to do it in a very special way. Take a look at the information boards about this example to discover this special touch of learning and communication.

Scenario Role Play

An example of Scenario Role Play has been published and designed. You can find it at the Innovate Sector, Arena 3.
With the Scenario Role Play one can have one or more role plays in different futures and/or circumstances. The scenarios that are used for this way of innovation development are the same as those which are used at the Four Futures Contest (Adventure, Budget, Comfort and Durable). The scenarios are developed on human behaviour so you can use them for every future or innovation creativity you like.
