The PIH Travel Programs website provides a central repository of knowledge, which serves as a one-stop portal for all course related information: academic, financial, and logistic. Prospective participants can now use the website to make informed decisions about which courses to apply to based both on their regional interests as well as professional skills. Additionally students can get quick and convenient tips from previous students, review anticipated expenses, and find clearly articulated information regarding expectations of the course.

A mutating bug widget (application) was developed in Flash and PHP to demonstrate some aspects of Darwinian evolution in an appealing, graphical way, while allowing a class of individuals to collectively monitor—and mutate—the bug while visiting the website.

A scenario-driven exercise was developed to explore the effects of segregation laws that restricted the activities of African Americans during the Jim Crow era. The exercises presented students with a set of information drawn from source materials, and then presented scenarios in which the students made a decision. Students learned how each decision would have affected their experience during this era. Built in Perl, the exercises could be authored by the instructor using a simple web interface. The instructor defined situations containing source materials, images, and other information, and then constructed a navigation path by connecting scenarios together. These technologies could be repurposed for other courses with relative ease.

This PITF project created information and consolidated online resources for all model and prototyping resources at the GSD - including tutorials, sign-up sheets, webcams, information data, and user settings on how test to use and implement the resources such as the cnc tools, robotic devices,laser cutters, 3D rapid prototyping, and digital input devices.

PITFS developed interactive flash animations that allowed students to fully explore and understand a phenomenon and ultimately gave them better intuition about the physical concepts presented in the course.  Interactive animations for the following systems were created: single spring, rotating disk, double spring, double pendulum, falling rod, shaky table. Students were able to change the values of various parameters, animate the systems, and plot graphs of different variables.

This flashcard application allowed students to see a word in English and Hebrew, see it used in a sentence, hear a native speaker say it, and see its root.
