== Introduction ==

SCY-SE stands for ''Science Created by You'' '''Scenario Editor'''.

SCY is an EC project that
* is learning by creating, sharing, reviewing, and building on [[emerging learning object]]s that happen within a learning activity space.
* realizes an adaptive instructional approach based on pedagogical agents.

SCY-SE is a tool to model learning activities, i.e. to plan the management of a [[learning activity space]]

== Software ==

The SCY-Scenario Editor (SCY-SE) is a FreeStyler-based tool to develop learning scenarios in the SCY way.

It provides a graphical language to describe and to orchestrate:

    * LAS (Learning Activity Spaces)
    * ELO (Emerging Learning Objects)
    * Tools
    * Activities
    * Scaffolds
    * Resources

Beside this basic functionality the SCY-SE enables the user to check constructed scenarios using the SCY ontology.

In addition SCY-SE provides the possibility to store created scenarios in a global (SQLSpaces-based, [http://sqlspaces.collide.info]) Repository.

A powerful similarity search allows to compare own scenarios with already stored scenarios of other users.

To see the SCY-SE in action, take a look at the Video.
The System is available at [http://scyse.collide.info].

* Teachers are supported to select from, author scaffold a number of pedagogical scenarios.
