This is an application that enables a community to participate in managing and organizing content with an emphasis on collaborative learning. At the lowest level, it organizes information based on two fundamental structures:
Nodes are used to represent a specific topic, subject, or tool. A Node can be linked to other nodes via explicitly defined Relationships. The node holds basic details as well as resources helpful in learning that node.
Relationships are used to link nodes to one another when two (or more) nodes share a contextual relationship. The specific context of the Relationship is captured in the Relationship's sentences
, one for each direction of the relationship, after all, how A relates to B is of often different than how B relates to A.
Nodes
and Relationships
capture the are then organized and presented to users via one of the following ways:
- Information Pages
- Tutorials
###Information Pages Information Pages display the basic data that is captured for a Node or Relationship. On each info page there is basic defining information as well as community defined helpful links, tutorials, and in the case of a Node Information Page, and a relationships.
###Tutorials Tutorials allow users to create guides for learning specific tasks related to a particular Node or Relationship. Tutorials are written in Markdown.
###Curriculums (advanced feature that is still under construction and not present in the current implementation)
