M C squared: social creativity in designing c-books for engagement with CMT
Chronis Kynigos, CTI
MCSquared FP7 Project 610467, 1st Review Meeting, 06 November, 2014, Utrecht, Netherlands 2
The creative e-book
• Interactive vs creative e-books• How does reading change?• What roles will users of c-books adopt?• How will readers be addressed?• How can an author inspire creativity? • How will the meaning of ‘a book’ change?
MCSquared FP7 Project 610467, 1st Review Meeting, 06 November, 2014, Utrecht, Netherlands 3
The ‘c-book’• Can contain constructionist widgets
from diverse widget factories (from Cinderella-E-slate-Geogebra to Scratch-NETLOGO etc)
• Supports collaborative design with CoIcode
• Will support authorable data analytics

A new kind of mediation?
MCSquared FP7 Project 610467, 1st Review Meeting, 06 November, 2014, Utrecht, Netherlands 5
A new kind of mediation?
•An e-book creatively affording creative mathematical thinking
•Expressive medium
•Fusion between reading and meaning generation with expressive media
• Connected representations
• Dynamic manipulation
• Constructionism
• Inquiry

M c 2 and integration
Technical work:
• integration of diverse widgets
• integration of authoring, collaboration and data analytics
Evaluation:
SC in design • Integration of DG and
BC
• Integration of 4 diverse operationalizations of DG and BC
CMT as an affordance• Creative thinking
• CMT
• Social creativity and MT

Socio-technical environments
Social Creativity (S-C) in a design project (Fischer, 2001, 2011)creativity as activity focusing on a design problem
of common concern (the “interest”) situated in a socio-technical environment
Community of Interest (CoI)specially designed computational mediafueled by a culture of participation exemplified in social processes and practicesleading to novel/new, useful and desirable outputs

Collaborative designs with CoIcode
Figure 1: The CoI’s discussion thread
Mind map – forum
Semantics to encourage social creativity (alternative, contributory, objecting)
Embedded tools for
versioning
Adornment and other tools for structuring and
navigating through a discussion

A glimpse at emerging c-book units
MCSquared FP7 Project 610467, 1st Review Meeting, 06 November, 2014, Utrecht, Netherlands 10
Where we areTechnical work
Prototype & manual 90% ready? (D3.2 – m 12)
Requirement analysis D2.1.1 m 12 – status?
D3.1, 4.1, D5.1 m12
Javascript/html5 version developments
Feedback, new affordances for CoIcode
Data analytics: developments
Evaluation work In the midst of cycle 2 : 5 more c-book units per CoI plus 1 c-book unit for wp7
Complete version 1 of integration tools (templates)
Structure our analysis objectives (GRQs and SRQs) and methods (‘critical episode’, etc)
D2.2, D2.3 m15
D6.2 m16, D7.1 m17
Dissemination/exploitation plansD8.3.1 m12
Use of resources Justify major deviations

The most pertinent question to us so far (Ken Kahn)
What else are we contributing other than that we’re producing generalized constructionist e-books a few years (or months) early?
MCSquared FP7 Project 610467, 1st Review Meeting, 06 November, 2014, Utrecht, Netherlands 12
An M C 2 response
We’re addressing the questions: (1)could this be a new kind of expressive medium / document?
(2)If yes, can it promote SC and CMT in new ways?
We’re developing a technology with 3 integrated affordances:
- Diverse widgets- Collaborative design- Authoring system for data
analytics

• A book as a ‘living document’ for the reader
• A need for creativity in designing c-books to promote creativity in their readers
• A need for diverse views and methods to integrate amongst them
• A need to have information on what readers do with a c-book
• Improvable boundary objects to generate boundary crossings within a CoI: widget instances and unit versionings
