thanks for improving the translation, Edward
Hilaires sent me a link to a (very interesting) pdf in english (on the squeak list) which explains the concepts more: https://gforge.inria.fr/docman/view.php/1308/5741/istoa-exercises.pdf
this ties in with some of the other recent threads about developing quality activities

Thank you. This is excellent.
:I am working on a learning system written in Smalltalk. The contents is only in French for now, and only cover multiplication learning, but I am planing for more in various subjects. Underneath the curriculum is in a graph to help situating the learning progression of the learner.
I've done an english translation of the main page using google translate
I'm not certain but it could be Hilaire's intention to eventually develop
a
computer mentoring system - identified by alan kay as the main thing
missing
from his dynabook vision (40th anniversary presentation)
if anyone improves the translation please send me a copy

activité (étayage) = activity (shoring) ???
Pedagogical support seems to mean lesson plans.
ABOUT
iSTOA.net is a research project to build a platform for interactive
teaching
and monitoring the Internet. It is free and cross-licensed MIT.
iSTOA.net is a research project to build a platform for interactive teaching and for following it on the Internet. It is multi-platform, and under a Free MIT license.
Some aspects of iStoa.net:
Some particular points about iStoa.net:
- Interactive exercises for students is important (see this article on
the
artifacts).
- Interactive exercises for students are important (see this article
on the exercises so far constructed) \
- Modeling of the field of learning
Modeling of the subject matter to be learned
- The construction of a knowledge model of learning as part of its
activities with the software
- Construction of a model of the learner's understanding as he or she
works with the software
- A remediation when the student is in trouble
- A help system for when the student is having trouble

The console's web master and the students with recording traces are
present.
The master Web console and student application with the ability to create records are provided.
However, some simple operations are necessary to activate them. If you
want
to test, ask on the mailing list.
ok
Since its interactive teaching file, ISTO provides access to a set of scaffolding materials. Each shoring is an activity that addresses one or more educational themes and includes a series of exercises. The shoring
are
classified according to the classification of items of educational curricula. It includes more than 40 educational shoring with more than
160
years.
In addition to the interactive education application file, iSTOA provides access to a collection of lesson plans. Each plan consists of an activity that addresses one or more educational themes, and includes a series of exercises. The plans are classified according to the names of subjects in the curriculum. The collection includes more than 40 plans containing more than 160 exercises.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ok
The platform is aimed at teaching math and French cycle 3 of primary
school.
Its use is multiple use in the classroom, use at home or remediation monitoring with deferred by the teacher.
The platform is aimed at teaching arithmetic and French in third grade. It has multiple uses: in the classroom, at home, and in remedial instruction, with appropriate follow-up by the instructor.
Each act of the learner is stored in a database, in a local network or
the
Internet. Of course, use offline mode is possible, there is no case in
this
recording traces
Each step taken by the student can be stored in a database, locally or on the Internet. Naturally, offline use is possible, but without the possibility of recording progress.
Features ISTO is divided into four main parts:
ok
- A modeling tool in the field of learning.
A modeling tool for the field of study.
- A corpus of interactive and dynamic.
A body of interactive, dynamic exercises.
- A system for recording acts of learning.
A system for recording steps in learning.
- A Web console of the teacher to see the traces of learners.
A teacher's console for examining student records.
These revolve around large parts of modeling the domain of learning. The exercises are the learner according to a part of this model, and partly
of
his learning.
These parts of the system are organized around the model of the field of study. Exercises are presented to the learner partly in accordance with this model, and partly in accordance with his progress in learning.
The exercises of the body are modular and configurable objects. They are grouped by activity (shoring). The chart below shows in detail some of
these
relationships:
The exercises in this suite are parametrized, modular objects. They are grouped into activities (lesson plans). The chart below shows in detail some of these relationships:

Domain de reference: programmes scolaires = Domain of reference:

Graphe de competences = Graph of competences

Domaine de reference: savoir-faire pedagogique = Area of reference: educational know-how
The project
The outline of the model are in place. The body of exercises is to
increase,
for a school it takes several hundreds of interactive exercises. But for them, we develop artifacts that are reusable components from one year to another, this reduces the development time necessary.
The outline of the functional model is in place. The suite of exercises has to be expanded, because several hundred interactive exercises are needed for each grade. However, in order to create them, we are building software as reusable components that can be recombined into new lessons for each grade, reducing the needed development time.
