How do I extend CTAT so that it is better suited for the way I plan to use tutors in one of the LearnLab courses?
The short answer is: if you need some capabilities that CTAT does not provide and have the technical means to implement them yourself, the CTAT team will likely (a) make the necessary source code available to you and (b) offer to consult with you on how to design your new feature and code modifications in such a way that they will likely be of benefit to other PSLC researchers. One way to extend CTAT’s capabilities that may be attractive to development teams within the PSLC is to add to CTAT’s set of interface widgets. CTAT comes with a variety of “tutorable” Java and Flash widgets that allow you to build tutors without programming. Those who need new widgets can create them either in Flash or in Java. These new widgets must be made to observe the API for CTAT tutor widgets. Once a new widget is built, it can be used to develop tutors in the usual way. For example, Example-Tracing Tutors that include the new widget can be developed without programming. The Flash-based tutor widgets can
