Development

Plans for this app can be found here: LVSurvey

Planned extensions to the SCL project:

1. Notes on individual slides and button to switch to note view instead of slide and ad hoc questions; to be clarified:
   1. Option to switch slide notes to "large" (almost full screen): enables presentation by notes instead of by slide content
   2. Alternative: overlay view in which notes appear over slides (then no drawing tool, but laser pointer possible; like labeled overlay currently, but not visible on beamer)
2. Ball with the following properties:
   1. random selection of a participant from server list
   2. Pass on option, then random selection from remaining participants
   3. Beep output for affected device (even better: ball sound from Solarian2)

Modifications, updates, small improvements:

• Conversion of the view to start the presentation (is still "old" design)
  • e.g. vertical selection of the start slide (as in popover), or
  • other overview, e.g. scrollable matrix with all pages as thumbnails?
  • Explicit "Start" field, slightly larger than a button perhaps
• Adaptation of the interface design to iOS7
• Selectable transparency of the cover sheet on Beamer in the app settings (such as color/size of the laser pointer): Picker for percentage or slider "50 to 100 percent"

Extensions:

• Preparation for headset use as an auditorium microphone
• Preparation of a client transmission of the annotations and the laser pointer
  • Annotations as a whole object after the finger has been placed
  • Laser pointer possibly with animation effect (Zini smearing) in SiApp: despite time delay with original speed + smearing effect
  • Replay button in SiApp for last pointer animation or even annotation?

Perspective ideas:

• Integrate slide notes more generally
  • Integration in PDF (save) possible?
  • Reading from PDF (Adobe/PreviewApp notes) possible?

Management of files:

• Integration of Moodle
  • List view: offline(local)/online(local+moodle mixed) list
  • Download from list / upload to list (from iTunes)
  • analog also in SiApp (download only)
• Manage original and annotated version
  • Do not display separately but as a switching option
  • Switching by button

Miscellaneous:

Make cover image interchangeable (from album/photo roll)

Sending several questions at the same time for final topic test

Summary of silent questions according to topics/content/keywords (get hints from A. Zündorf)

Integration of annotations in PDF data format; later: complete use of PDF format, incl. links etc. (the latter is certainly a separate, independent project)

Blocking some features of the TiApp for free version in the App Store? How can you avoid paid apps or in-app purchases and still not release everything? In particular, the presentation options should be blocked, not the interaction options.

Is a university distribution possible (like those in large companies)?

Do the additional promo codes help? (e.g. 39.90 euros in the App Store and promo codes for our lecturers?)

Learning support in iPhone SiApp

Updates:

• special optics for red-green questions (pop-up and graphics)
• Button for feedback on the pace of the lecture
• Preparation for further feedback
• new icon for questions to lecturer

Further features:

• Counterpart to throwing the ball: Display question with option to pass the ball on by swiping
  • Sound for ball input and passing on
• Display of annotations
• Display of the laser pointer
• Replay button for laser pointer movements
• Sound output of the TI headset (problem: synchronization!)
  • Sound output (livestream) not in the lecture hall (how does that work?)

Establishing the current iOS status. (???)

An iPhone version should at least provide the basic functions for a presentation:

• Slide display
• Note display
• laser pointer
• annotations
• Cover sheet

The following should be clarified in advance:

• Revise UI for smaller screen
• Use the wider format as a side menu bar

Adaptation of the app to iOS7 (postponed for now)

Moving the point for initial state

Enhancements:

• Info text for a vending machine can be displayed or entered
• Vending machines should be able to be uploaded to the server ("Save") or loaded from there. This allows you to issue or correct a task.

Features:

• Input of tables or KV diagrams or formulas
• Display of the remaining display forms (only on click)
• Tapping on formula parts shows table entries and KV fields
• Correspondence table entry/entries <-> CT field(s) by touch
• Select higher-order date in CT, display in second formula or table

Advanced functions (for version 2):

• Minimization of the formula without CT diagram
