  1. Interactive Simulation-Based Virtual Classroom By: Katrina Connors, Tavon Pourboghrat, Steven Aldridge

  2. Overview • What is ISVC? • Why do we need ISVC? • Features •  Basic Underlying Information •  User Types •  Product Demonstration

  3. What is ISVC? • ISVC is an open-source learning management system (LMS).   • Developed for the Illinois Board of Education. • Also developed for the School Districts in the Southern Illinois Region.  • ISVC integrates functions of an LMS with simulations from Molecular Workbench and PhET.  • A simulation is a interactive animation featuring Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology concepts.   • Simulation Example: John Travoltage.  

  4. The Purpose of ISVC • The purpose of this project is to create a learning environment where teachers can prepare supplimental material that allows students to take a hands on approach to their education. • ISVC integrates open-source simulations from different sites onto one localized database.   • ISVC offers a simple interface. • ISVC allows teachers to integrate quizzes and homeworks with the lesson.   • Open-Source alternative to other LMSes.  

  5. Basic Underlying Information    • Developed using Drupal Content Management System. • Further development done in PHP, CSS, JavaScript, and HTML.   • Connected to a MySQL database.   • Runs on CentOS server in the CS Department.   • Users connect through the site by a browser.
