1 # Glossary of Terms 2
3 + #### Bloom's Taxonomy 4 +
5 + A hierarchical framework of six cognitive levels used to classify educational + learning objectives and outcomes. 6 +
7 + The 2001 revision includes six levels: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, + Evaluate, and Create. Each level represents increasing cognitive complexity, helping + educators design learning activities that progress from basic knowledge recall to + higher-order thinking and creativity. 8 +
9 + Example: A course on programming might have students remember syntax (level 1), + understand concepts (level 2), apply them in exercises (level 3), analyze code + quality (level 4), evaluate different approaches (level 5), and create original + programs (level 6). 10 +
11 + #### Claude Skills 12 +
13 + Packaged instruction sets that guide Claude AI to perform specialized tasks in + educational content creation. 14 +
15 + Skills are stored as markdown files with YAML frontmatter containing detailed + workflows, examples, and best practices. Each skill encapsulates domain expertise + for specific tasks like generating glossaries, creating learning graphs, or building + interactive simulations. 16 +
17 + Example: The glossary-generator skill guides Claude through creating ISO + 11179-compliant definitions from a concept list, ensuring consistency across all + generated textbooks. 18 +
19 + #### Concept Dependency 20 +
21 + The prerequisite relationship between two concepts where one must be understood + before the other can be learned. 22 +
23 + Dependencies form the edges in a learning graph, creating a directed acyclic graph + (DAG) that represents the optimal learning sequence. Each concept may depend on zero + or more prerequisite concepts. 24 +
25 + Example: Understanding "variables" is a dependency for learning "functions," + which is itself a dependency for understanding "recursion." 26 +
27 + #### Concept Mapping 28 +
29 + The process of identifying and organizing domain knowledge into discrete, teachable + concepts with defined relationships. 30 +
31 + Concept mapping involves enumerating 150-250 concepts for a course, determining + their dependencies, and categorizing them by taxonomy. This structured approach + ensures comprehensive coverage and logical sequencing of learning materials. 32 +
33 + Example: A data science course might map concepts like "statistics," "Python + programming," and "machine learning," showing that statistics and Python are + prerequisites for machine learning. 34 +
35 + #### Course Description 36 +
37 + A structured document that defines the scope, audience, prerequisites, topics, and + learning outcomes for an educational offering. 38 +
39 + High-quality course descriptions include title, target audience, prerequisite + knowledge, main topics covered, topics not covered, and learning outcomes organized + by Bloom's Taxonomy levels. This document serves as the foundation for generating + all subsequent course materials. 40 +
41 + Example: A course description for "Introduction to Web Development" specifies + that students should know basic HTML (prerequisite) and will be able to create + responsive websites (learning outcome) but won't cover advanced JavaScript + frameworks (topic not covered). 42 +
43 + #### Directed Acyclic Graph 44 +
45 + A graph structure with directed edges and no circular paths, representing one-way + relationships without loops. 46 +
47 + In learning graphs, nodes represent concepts and directed edges represent + prerequisite relationships. The acyclic property ensures no circular dependencies + exist (concept A requires B, which requires A), making a valid learning sequence + possible. 48 +
49 + Example: A learning graph shows "arithmetic" → "algebra" → "calculus" with + arrows indicating prerequisites, and no path leads back to a previous concept. 50 +
51 + #### Dublin Core Metadata 52 +
53 + A standardized set of 15 metadata elements for describing digital resources, + including title, creator, subject, and date. 54 +
55 + Dublin Core provides consistent resource description across different systems and + domains. Intelligent textbooks use Dublin Core in MicroSim metadata.json files to + ensure discoverability and proper cataloging. 56 +
57 + Example: A MicroSim's metadata.json includes Dublin Core fields: "title": + "Population Growth Simulation", "creator": "Claude AI", "subject": "Biology", + "date": "2025-01-15". 58 +
59 + #### FAQ 60 +
61 + A structured collection of Frequently Asked Questions with concise answers that + address common student inquiries. 62 +
63 + FAQs are generated from course content, learning graphs, and glossary terms to help + students quickly find answers to common questions. Well-designed FAQs reduce + instructor workload and improve student self-service. 64 +
65 + Example: An FAQ for a programming course might include "What's the difference + between a list and a tuple in Python?" with a clear, concise answer and example. 66 +
67 + #### Git Clone 68 +
69 + A command that creates a local copy of a remote repository, including all files, + history, and branches. 70 +
71 + The git clone command downloads a complete repository from GitHub or other Git + hosting services to your local machine, enabling you to work with the code and + content offline. 72 +
73 + Example: Running git clone https://github.com/dmccreary/claude-skills.git + downloads the entire Claude Skills repository to your computer. 74 +
75 + #### GitHub 76 +
77 + A web-based platform for hosting Git repositories with collaboration features like + pull requests, issues, and actions. 78 +
79 + GitHub enables version control, collaborative development, and continuous + deployment for software and documentation projects. Intelligent textbooks are often + hosted on GitHub and deployed via GitHub Pages. 80 +
81 + Example: The Claude Skills project is hosted at + github.com/dmccreary/claude-skills, allowing contributors to fork, modify, and + submit improvements. 82 +
83 + #### Glossary 84 +
85 + An alphabetically organized collection of domain-specific terms with precise, + concise definitions following established standards. 86 +
87 + High-quality glossaries use ISO 11179 standards ensuring definitions are precise, + concise, distinct, non-circular, and free of business rules. Glossaries support + learning by providing consistent terminology throughout educational materials. 88 +
89 + Example: A machine learning glossary defines "overfitting" as "A modeling error + where a model learns training data noise rather than underlying patterns," avoiding + circular references and technical jargon. 90 +
91 #### Intelligent Textbook 92
93 - #### ISO Definition 93 + An educational resource that adapts and responds to learner interactions using + structured data and interactive elements. 94
95 - A term definition is considered to be consistent with ISO metadata registry - guideline 11179 if it meets the following criteria: 95 + Intelligent textbooks range from basic hyperlinked content (Level 2) to AI-powered + personalized learning experiences (Level 5). They incorporate learning graphs, + interactive simulations (MicroSims), quizzes, and structured metadata to enhance + learning outcomes. 96
97 - 1. Precise 98 - 2. Concise 99 - 3. Distinct 100 - 4. Non-circular 101 - 5. Unencumbered with business rules 97 + Example: A Level 3 intelligent textbook on physics includes interactive + simulations where students manipulate variables to observe effects on motion, + adapting content based on quiz performance. 98
99 + #### Interactive Simulation 100 +
101 + A dynamic visualization that allows users to manipulate parameters and observe + results in real-time. 102 +
103 + Interactive simulations in intelligent textbooks (MicroSims) use JavaScript + libraries like p5.js to create hands-on learning experiences. Students explore + concepts by adjusting variables, running experiments, and seeing immediate feedback. 104 +
105 + Example: A MicroSim for "projectile motion" lets students adjust launch angle + and velocity with sliders, immediately showing the trajectory path and impact point. 106 +
107 + #### ISO 11179 108 +
109 + An international standard for metadata registries specifying how to create precise, + concise, and unambiguous definitions. 110 +
111 + ISO 11179 requires definitions to be precise (accurate), concise (brief), distinct + (unique), non-circular (no self-reference), and unencumbered with business rules (no + implementation details). This standard ensures glossary quality and consistency. 112 +
113 + Example: An ISO 11179-compliant definition states "A directed graph showing + prerequisite relationships between concepts" rather than "A graph that you must use + to organize your course before creating chapters." 114 +
115 #### Learning Graph 116
117 + A directed graph representing concepts as nodes and their prerequisite + relationships as edges. 118 +
119 + Learning graphs guide intelligent textbook creation by mapping the optimal sequence + for learning concepts. Each node represents a discrete concept, and edges show + which concepts must be understood before others, forming a directed acyclic graph. 120 +
121 + Example: A programming learning graph shows "variables" must be learned before + "functions," which must be learned before "recursion," with arrows indicating this + prerequisite flow. 122 +
123 + #### Learning Outcomes 124 +
125 + Specific, measurable statements describing what students will be able to do after + completing an educational experience. 126 +
127 + Learning outcomes are typically organized by Bloom's Taxonomy levels (Remember, + Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create) and use action verbs corresponding to + each cognitive level. Well-defined outcomes guide content creation and assessment + design. 128 +
129 + Example: "Students will be able to analyze code for efficiency" (Analyze level) + or "Students will be able to create original sorting algorithms" (Create level). 130 +
131 + #### Level-2 Textbook 132 +
133 + An intelligent textbook that includes basic navigation, hyperlinks, and search + functionality without adaptive features. 134 +
135 + The five levels of textbook intelligence range from Level 1 (static PDFs) to Level + 5 (AI-powered personalization). Level-2 textbooks use tools like MkDocs to provide + navigation, cross-references, and search, representing the baseline for intelligent + textbooks. 136 +
137 + Example: A Level-2 textbook built with MkDocs Material includes a table of + contents, search bar, and hyperlinked glossary terms, but doesn't adapt content + based on student performance. 138 +
139 + #### LRS 140 +
141 + A Learning Record Store that receives, stores, and provides access to learning + activity statements in xAPI format. 142 +
143 + LRS systems track learner interactions with educational content, enabling analytics + and reporting on learning progress. Intelligent textbooks can send xAPI statements + to an LRS when students complete activities, quizzes, or simulations. 144 +
145 + Example: When a student completes a MicroSim quiz, the textbook sends an xAPI + statement to the LRS: "Student A completed 'Sorting Algorithms Quiz' with score + 85%." 146 +
147 + #### MicroSim 148 +
149 + A focused interactive simulation that demonstrates a single educational concept + using p5.js or similar JavaScript libraries. 150 +
151 + MicroSims are self-contained educational tools stored in /docs/sims/[name]/ + directories, including an HTML file, JavaScript code, CSS styling, documentation, + and metadata. Each MicroSim addresses one learning objective with interactive + controls and visual feedback. 152 +
153 + Example: A "binary search tree" MicroSim lets students insert nodes, delete + nodes, and see the tree rebalance, with controls for step-by-step execution and + automatic animation. 154 +
155 + #### MkDocs 156 +
157 + A static site generator that builds documentation websites from markdown files with + automatic navigation and search. 158 +
159 + MkDocs converts markdown content into HTML websites with themes (especially + Material for MkDocs), navigation menus, search functionality, and responsive design. + Intelligent textbooks use MkDocs to create professional, deployable educational + websites. 160 +
161 + Example: Running mkdocs serve launches a local development server showing + your textbook with navigation, search, and formatted content at localhost:8000. 162 +
163 + #### MkDocs Material 164 +
165 + A modern, feature-rich theme for MkDocs providing responsive design, customization, + and enhanced navigation. 166 +
167 + Material for MkDocs adds features like dark mode, social cards, annotations, tabbed + content, admonitions, and mobile optimization. This theme is the standard for + intelligent textbook projects due to its professional appearance and educational + features. 168 +
169 + Example: MkDocs Material enables admonitions like "!!! note" to create + highlighted boxes for important concepts, and tabbed content for showing multiple + programming language examples. 170 +
171 + #### Prerequisites 172 +
173 + Knowledge, skills, or experiences that learners must possess before beginning a + course or learning a concept. 174 +
175 + Prerequisites ensure students have the foundation needed for success. Course + descriptions list prerequisites explicitly, and learning graphs encode them as + concept dependencies. 176 +
177 + Example: A machine learning course lists "Python programming" and "basic + statistics" as prerequisites, ensuring students can understand code examples and + mathematical concepts. 178 +
179 + #### Prompt Engineering 180 +
181 + The practice of designing and refining input text to guide AI models toward + producing desired outputs. 182 +
183 + Effective prompt engineering for educational content involves clear instructions, + examples, constraints, and context. Claude Skills encapsulate proven prompt patterns + for specific educational tasks, enabling consistent, high-quality content + generation. 184 +
185 + Example: A prompt for generating quiz questions specifies "Create 5 + multiple-choice questions at the Apply level of Bloom's Taxonomy, each with 4 + options and one correct answer, avoiding 'all of the above' choices." 186 +
187 + #### Quiz 188 +
189 + An assessment instrument with questions designed to measure student understanding + at specific Bloom's Taxonomy levels. 190 +
191 + Effective quizzes align questions with learning outcomes, distribute difficulty + across cognitive levels, provide immediate feedback, and include distractors that + reveal common misconceptions. Quiz generators automate creation while maintaining + pedagogical quality. 192 +
193 + Example: A quiz on "functions in Python" includes a Remember-level question + ("What keyword defines a function?") and an Apply-level question ("Write a function + that returns the sum of a list"). 194 +
195 #### Skill 196
197 - A package of detailed instructions for a LLM that help them achieve specific tasks. 197 + A packaged set of instructions that guides an AI model to perform a specialized + task following established workflows and best practices. 198
199 + Skills are markdown files with YAML frontmatter stored in .claude/skills/ + directories. Each skill includes detailed workflows, decision trees, quality + criteria, examples, and references that enable consistent, expert-level task + execution. 200 +
201 + Example: The glossary-generator skill contains step-by-step instructions for + reading concept lists, generating ISO 11179-compliant definitions, adding examples, + and creating quality reports. 202 +
203 + #### Slash Command 204 +
205 + A custom command triggered by typing "/" followed by a command name in Claude Code. 206 +
207 + Slash commands are defined in markdown files within .claude/commands/ + directories. They extend Claude's functionality with project-specific or + user-specific workflows, enabling quick access to common tasks. 208 +
209 + Example: Typing /skills in Claude Code executes a custom command that lists + all available skills from the ~/.claude/skills/ directory. 210 +
211 + #### Symbolic Link 212 +
213 + A file system reference that points to another file or directory at a different + location. 214 +
215 + Symbolic links (symlinks) enable skills to be stored in one location but accessed + from multiple projects. This reduces duplication and ensures all projects use the + same skill versions when skills are installed globally. 216 +
217 + Example: Running ln -s ~/claude-skills/skills/glossary-generator + ~/.claude/skills/glossary-generator creates a symlink allowing all projects to + access the glossary-generator skill. 218 +
219 + #### Target Audience 220 +
221 + The specific group of learners for whom educational content is designed, defined by + education level, background, and goals. 222 +
223 + Identifying target audience guides content complexity, vocabulary, examples, and + prerequisite assumptions. Course descriptions specify target audience to ensure + content appropriately matches learner needs and abilities. 224 +
225 + Example: A course targeting "high school students with basic algebra knowledge" + uses different examples and pacing than one targeting "graduate students with + programming experience." 226 +
227 + #### xAPI 228 +
229 + The Experience API standard for tracking and recording learning experiences in a + consistent, interoperable format. 230 +
231 + xAPI (formerly Tin Can API) uses JSON statements with actor-verb-object structure + to describe learning activities. Intelligent textbooks can implement xAPI to send + learning records to an LRS for analytics and reporting. 232 +
233 + Example: An xAPI statement: {"actor": "Student A", "verb": "completed", + "object": "Chapter 3 Quiz", "result": {"score": {"scaled": 0.85}}} records quiz + completion with an 85% score.
