           Sussex University
        Designing a GPS course
     Richard Vahrman, LocoMatrix
            7th March 2013
Aim: Create a GPS learning module
• Week long course
• Maybe 12-13 year olds
Thinking Behind This
• Lots of modules appearing on the web
• Think Khan Academy
  https://www.khanacademy.org/
• Think MOOC
• Think the module we will design
What this Opens Up
•   Learning for life
•   Individual learning
•   An end to curricula
•   But …
Raises a few questions
•   What about the teachers
•   More towards mentoring
•   Learning towards apprenticeships
•   Learning towards volunteering
•   And what of the universities
So if we are learning modules
• How do we assess?
• Open Badges
• What’s needed to get the badge?
• C.f. Martial Arts
• Create learning pathways – if you liked this,
  you might like…
• And in order to study this, you need A and B
  first
A Scenario
• LocoMatrix asked to create game for Innocent
• No capacity but wants to recruit
• Look for a badge match – GPS, games, Flash
  Builder
• And general rounded character
• At interview we can click on badges to get our
  interview questions
And a recap of previous
• Follows slideshow sent earlier
Object: to design a GPS course for
                 teenagers
•   Week long course
•   What is GPS?
•   What is it used for?
•   Where do you find it?
•   What can you do with it?
•   Creating games
•   See Locomatrix Invisible Buildings esp. video
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_
    embedded&v=8U7L0YKi-bc
Maps
•   Using maps with GPS
•   Use for SatNav
•   Available resources – Google, Open Streetmap
•   APIs
•   Tiling
GPS: where else?
•   Apps like 4Square
•   Twitter – e.g. #UKSnow
•   Trip Advisor
•   Where else?
Coordinates and Haversine
• Any point on earth described with 2 coords –
  lat/long – what do these look like
• Calculations=Haversine
  http://www.movable-
  type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html
• Calculate distance/bearing/midpoint from 2
  lat/longs
• Destination given distance and bearing
• Intersection of paths
Where am I?
• Working out the dimensions of your playing
  area
• Creating a simple metal detector program
• Creating a grid in a field
• Other ideas
• Use of other phone features
Assessing the Work
• How to do it?
• Awarding an Open Badge (Mozilla)
  http://openbadges.org/en-US/
• How this might fit in with other modules
