A LimSee3 trialling was jointly organised by ePrep and INRIA Rhône-Alpes at Lycée Henri IV, in Paris, on January 24, 2008. On this occasion, ePrep CoP members were invited to build a multimedia module, including texts, pictures, video and audio recordings, thanks to the last version of LimSee3, a multimedia authoring tool based on extensive use of templates and adaptable user interface developed in the framework of the PALETTE project.

 

This trialling took place after several “design-in-use” sessions involving PALETTE researchers and ePrep CoP members for the production of a real multimedia history course for “Hypokhâgne” students at Lycée Henri IV. An example of such sessions was the recording of the course at Lycée Henri IV, on October 17, 2007 (see the account here)

 

Thirteen participants attended the LimSee3 trialling on January 24. The account of this trialling, available here in French, is written as a “distance training module” to allow  all ePrep CoP members to “replay” the session and contribute to the design-in-use ongoing process.
