A Framework for Microworld-style Construction Kits
Carol Strohecker · 2000
We describe a genre of game-like construction kits and an extensible Java framework that mod-els method and structures for generating them. We include descriptions of the kitsćonceptual bases and design principles, and explain how work with users of the ¨Kit for Kits¨framework in-formed modifications promoting use by people with a broad range of expertise in programming, design, multimedia production, and learning theory. Continued development of the framework is informed by museum-based contexts for kit use.
