Olympic Games Knowledge Services - Development of IOC Knowledge Repository

The task was to create a scalable system that indexes and presents the knowledge required to host the Olympic Games - any Olympic Games - in a way that can be used by future event holders. Drawing upon our skills as information, instructional and system architects, Nine Lanterns has an ongoing partnership with OGKS to develop the principle system that supports their clients.

This is a powerful tool, designed for children to build powerful learning experiences.

Working from a set of business objectives based around driving specific exhibitions, Nine Lanterns devised highly interactive learning resources for use in classrooms to provide a (virtual) taste of the experience that would be gained in a real museum visit.

Museum Victoria - Discover Your Body Talents

Museum Victoria required a new interactive to be developed for the refurbished Sportsworks exhibition. It was finalised as a screen-based quiz, appearing in the exhibition on two touch screens located in a central display. The client... and their clients... loved it!

Healthline for young people

An educational interactive that explores health resources within the community by allowing students to select specific topics and navigate through a town centre, visiting shops and typical services to locate the community member whom they would like to answer their questions. As well as being able to explore various areas within a "world" and interview the appropriate professionals, the student can store the responses they have obtained and create their own documentary for playback.

Anybody. Exploring body culture

Body Image is a set of interactives which encourage students to accept diversity, and understand how the media and society shape and form our ideas and values about our body image. An invaluable tool for the younger generation, these interactives help them expose some of the tricks of the trade which may contribute to false expectations of themselves and peers.

Great Food! Great Health!

The Good Food, Great Health interactives are fun to use, interesting and informative, and relevant to student nutrition today. The student is encouraged to assess and measure their own daily diet against the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI), and discover the importance of good nutrition and a balanced diet to maintaining a healthy body. The interactives provide the student with opportunities to learn about energy values of food, the link between poor nutrition and disease, and how to construct and apply a healthy diet to their own lifestyle.

Destination: Nirvana. 'How Buddhism came to Korea'

This group of interactives encourages students to learn about the spread of Buddhism in Korea, explore and to reflect. The example demonstrates a high level of visually rich material backed up with audio. Independent study is supported via a glossary, opportunities to engage at a variety of entry points and individual interest.

Are you game enough? Lead up games for team sports

These interactives focus on the strategy and "game play" of team sports. They provide fun and engaging resources for teachers and students in the area of Team Sports through providing, information and ideas for warm-ups and games, motivation to participate in the activities, individual teaching for the students and a tool to promote strategic thinking oriented approaches to team sports.

Local Ecosystem. Global Environment.

Three interactive Learning Objects that explore the research, decision making process and scientific knowlede required to review a building application on a grassland area. Each Learning Object can stand alone and act as a catalyst for further exercises. Students will learn about food webs, food chains, data collection processes and making decisions that accomodate different points of view.

Softball. Get Thinking, Go Play!

A group of interactives within a sequence that include teaching the student to develop higher order thinking skills, game sense, reinforce decision making, understand correct stances, learn how to interpret batting statistics in order to develop a good batting line up and to learn what the different catching positions are depending on the situation.

Languages Other Than English ( LOTE 2 )

A series of Learning Objects, enabling learners to construct their understanding of languages in a highly scaffolded and engaging set of experiences.

IEC1 : Innovation Cycle

A series of learning objects introducing ideas of Innovation through the concept of the Innovation Cycle - Idea, Research and develop, Design, Patent, Resource, Make, Sell and Service. It was created in the same vein as many of our projects with the TLF - where we deploy a learning process of Explore, Hypothesise, Test, Create.

IEC3: Directional design

In this series of ten related Learning Objects, learners design chairs, a lamp and a desk for specific purposes and environments. They are guided by a three part feedback loop to reflect on the need to minimise negative and optimise positive effects in the environments in which the objects will be used. The key learning outcome is to create a sustainable product that will contribute to a sustainable future.

Intervention Works

The 32 CD-ROMS in this series are based on Robert Andersen's Intervention Works series of books and teachers materials. Storylines from the book series are extended into tasks that use multiple media, and extensive and rich feedback loops bring characters to life.

The Learning Federation – Online News

Another independent thinking and creative problem solving design that accounts for complex perspectives, real-world problems and multiple ‘correct’ answers. For this literacy series of learning objects, a scaffolded approach encourages learners to acquire confidence in a range of tasks and build their skills over time. Gradations of complexity in the content take the learner from a modeled activity, through to a scaffolded practice task to a final ‘build’ section where they complete tasks as they would in the real-world – without structured support and with individual freedom to make mistakes.
