A task is always a game - if somebody want to see it so...

Obligatory Task Nr.1 (OT1*)

Solutions should always be sent to the prepared forum in the Moodle system or in case of system error - each solution should be written down on a sheet of paper - as far as possible with block capitals (uppercase):

• OT1a: Please, create a definition (being valid especially for you) about the keyword "KNOWLEDGE"!
• OT1b: Please, create an other definition too (being valid in general or especially for somebody else in the team) about the keyword "KNOWLEDGE"!

Remarks for supporting operative interpretations of the task-layers: The expected definitions should be appropriate complex/long. Please, do not use any sources neither for the general definition nor for your personal definition! The probability (that all member in the team will create the same definition about the keyword "KNOWLEDGE") is never high. Therefore, the second task-layer about the general definition targets either a definition which could really be created by an other team-member or a definition created/creating by the so called "average people". Example: Please define the word "WATER"! Expert-definition = H2O / General definition (like definitions in Wikipedia) = "Water is a transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance..."

• OT1c: Please, create an evaluation rule set describing how somebody should evaluate/rank the quality of a lot of definitions (see above)!
• OT1d: Please, create an evaluation rule set describing how somebody should evaluate/rank the quality of a lot of rule sets (evaluating definitions)!
• [FT1*: (unlimited task list: ...evaluation rule sets can always be expected to each creation level...:-) ]

Remarks for supporting operative interpretations of the task-layers: Without being capable of defining the term of the "Ideal/Good/Best/Target" and also the distance of solutions compared to these benchmarks or without being capable of deriving what objects are better than other ones, nobody can speak about rational planning/thinking/doing...

Remarks about didactic aspects in general: Without being capable of measuring the starting positions of Students, we can never speak about "learning/teaching" success - therefore in case of each task, the basic statements of each Student are always necessary to collect.

Facultative Task (FT*)

The following tasks need probably more time than available. But they could also be seen as relevant extensions in order to have a complex system of points of views supporting parallel divergent/convergent learning/teaching/problem-solving strategies:

• Each definition (see OT1a, OT1b) should be evaluated in an instinctive way by at least 2-3 (or all) Students before OT1c and OT1d will be published at all...
• Students should try to create a common definition based on the created definition (see OT1a and OT1b)...
• Students should try to derive a methodology describing how a lot of definitions with totally different quality can be joined to a common definition being valid for each Student (created one or more definitions before)...
• Each rule set (see OT1c, OT1d) should be evaluated in an instinctive way by at least 2-3 (or all) Students...
• Students should try to create a common rule set based on the created rule set evaluating definitions (see OT1*)...
• Students should try to derive a methodology describing how a lot of rule sets with totally different quality can be joined to a common rule set being valid for each Student (created one or more rule sets before)...
• ...

Remarks in general: Without practical experiences about operative doing/handling in a given task, Students mostly remains Prisoners in the world of the magic of words where flexible terms can be created and used for covering massive lacks of experiences on the proved/observed fields... The Moodle system offers forums where each definition could be discussed as a kind of home work... 

Obligatory Task Nr.2 (OT2*)

After the own statements about the keyword "KNOWLEDGE", a knowledge-test should be used in order to have a probably new look to the definition of the keyword "KNOWLEDGE":

• OT2a: Please, choose the probably correct options in case of each question in the test!
• OT2b: Please, make remarks - if any is available - about the content of the questions and/or their options!

Remarks for supporting operative interpretations of the task-layers: Please, send the chosen options in case of each question in the following test to the prepared Moodle-Forum (as far as possible in a chronological way)! (If the online communication should not be available, then please, write down the chosen options on the sheet of paper also in a chronological way!) Chronology means: the first position in your message/post should always be the option being selected at first and so on... [Extension possibilities for working offline: If somebody makes corrections during the selection of options, then it is enough here and now (unfortunately, without an appropriate IT-frame for logging each user activities) to strike through each option being evaluated later as an incorrect one and to follow the previous chronological way to notice new and newer options being selected as correct ones (+ these new-comers can also be stroke through if needed). A real log-based solution could detect each timestamp and event you made during the whole selection process...]

Obligatory and Facultative Task-layers Nr.3 (OT3*/FT3*)

Experiences should be collected in order to analyze them. The conclusions of these analyses could lead to new definitions/re-definitions:

• OT3a: After closing the international knowledge test, the task-layer OT1a should be repeated...
• FT3b: A re-definition would also be possible and useful in case of the general definitions... and these re-definitions could also be discussed...

Remarks for didactic aspects: The appropriate forum in the Moodle system makes possible to re-define general definitions to as a kind of home work... Each re-definition can be discussed in the Moodle system and especially the potential argumentation/comment-items are worth interpreting in details.

Obligatory and Facultative Task Nr.4 (OT4*, FT4*)

Extreme situations (like accidents) make it easier to create more complex/generalized interpretations about definitions:

• OT4a: Please, watch the following video stream and please, send posts to the appropriate topic with impulses for a new re-definition of the focused keyword of KNOWLEDGE... https://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight?language=hu#t-340954
• FT4b: Re-definitions can also be created for the general definitions as a kind of home work...and these re-definitions could also be discussed...

Remarks for didactic aspects: Knowledge as term is mostly interpreted just from scientific point of view. Each other (c.f. insane-like, illness-oriented, extreme) aspect is not focused in general...
