Other resources

• FROG architecture - this gives you a rough overview of how the different parts fit together. It does not specify APIs etc, and many details might have changed already.
• Chestnut Hill specification - we have played with the idea of making a generic specification for rich interoperability of activities and operators with other learning tools, and these are sketches. So far very loose thoughts, but happy to discuss with anyone.
  • Draft of activity API - further to the Chestnut Hill specification, an extremely early draft of an activity API
