         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.
