Storyboards as virtual data from thought experiments

Description

The article frames the storyboards produced as "virtual data" captured from thought experiments about imagined learning tasks. Thought experiments draw on the educational literature, the curriculum domain and the designer's professional intuitions, and the storyboards make their outcomes analysable and sharable: "analysable, sharable thought experiments about notational activity, pupil discourse and the role of R in imagined trials". This responds to Papert's call for a more developed culture of disciplined thought experiment.
