Hum, I have been occupying this channel quite a bit recently. So I though it may be fair I share a bit what can be done with Magma+Squeak. It is about a networked education oriented application, hooked to the Internet. Learners' learning are modeled through notions network. A standard Morphic application is used to design this network, this is picture (IFICompetencyDrawable). Magma database is used in back end to save all the model of the network. Learner activities (see one example with IFIPedagoBooklet) are going through Morphic application, then each learner act is saved in a Magma Database. Given the oriented object nature of Magma, you can image what kind of data act can be easily stored in the DB. With a rough estimation, I expect, in real situation, the database to grow to several hundred of MB, if not GB
Thanks Chris to make Magma.
Now I will look at the design of the teacher console with Magma+Seaside part, expect even more question ;-)
