<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';color:#1F497D;">I still think the idea of an ‘App Store’ or more likely an ‘Extend’ area is a good one… the plugins could go in there too for example, as well as themes and
the more that end users who don’t want to really get involved in the really technical stuff can still get involved means that the Community can still grow…</span></p><p></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';color:#1F497D;"></span></p><p> </p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';color:#1F497D;">I think Data Visualisation is going to be very important in the future and Pat’s Simile Timeline creator will be fantastic.., already have plans for that for
a few nursing based things… The DecisionTree is another one that might even have more potential, especially within areas where Scenario Based Learning is in use and also just to evaluate and focus learning where it’s is required…</span></p><p></p><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';color:#1F497D;">So I’m really excited about these two extensions that Pat has produced and I’m going to start building some things soon with them…</span></p><p></p><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';color:#1F497D;" xml:lang="en-gb">I’ld also like to propose a possible new module which would primarily aid interactivity
in the classroom/lecture theatre. The basic idea would be to combine Ron’s QR Code stuff with a template enabling users to choose a response aim their phones at the associated QR Code and add their ‘vote’ or ‘comment’ to a text wall.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';color:#1F497D;" xml:lang="en-gb">I could probably write it myself in perl, but that wouldn’t be terribly helpful to anyone
else. Unfortunately it would be well beyond my current skills with php. My initial thought is that three QR Codes could be provided, e.g ‘Yes/Agree’, No/Disagree,Comment/Question.</span><span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb"></span></p><p></p><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';color:#1F497D;" xml:lang="en-gb">The Template would present the viewer with some text and the three QR Codes. Users could
click on one of the QR codes which would actually by a URL to a php script which updated a text wall. The Comment/Question option would additionally present the user with a form in which they could type some text on their device and then submit that. The Image
for the QR Code could be also linked to the script via a conventional hyperlink, i.e. you’ld click on the QR code rather than use your phone.</span><span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb"></span></p><p></p><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';color:#1F497D;" xml:lang="en-gb">There are a number of sites which enable you to generate QR Codes on the fly so this
should not be too problematic, and by embedding a large random number into the URL for each instance you could differentiate between them.</span><span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb"></span></p><p></p><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';color:#1F497D;" xml:lang="en-gb">This technique could probably be extended to other templates where it would be useful
to solicit feedback from users, e.g. the ‘stimulating question’ type of template.</span><span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb"></span></p><p></p><p></p>
