New website reflects growth of HAX @ Penn State
The HAX project team has been receiving renewed interest with the recent release of the 7th major revision to the project. As a result, they've been investing in documentation, tutorials, and marketing to help bring on additional collaborators and grow the project. The new website ( https://hax.psu.edu/) emphasizes the Penn State community while setting the stage for additional project details to be organized within.
Product Owner Bill Rose has been hard at work behind the scenes writing user tutorials under an initiative we've dubbed "User Scaffolding". HAX7 released a new OS level system for finding functionality called "Merlin". Merlin and the User Scaffolding initiative will see the HAX core team treating documentation as a living thing that end-users of HAX can access directly from the interface with the click of a button. This will allow HAX users to learn about new features, tutorials, and even adding proven instructional strategies in a few clicks directly in their content! It's like having a personalized Instructional Designer to help in authoring interactive content with HAX.
