"Doggiebox has been designed for home-recording and studio musicians of all stripes. Whether you want to quickly produce a demo, or work out an intricate backing track as you develop a song, Doggiebox is the friendly and versatile tool to fill that gap! All sounds are fully customizable (you can record your own), and pieces of unlimited length can be edited in any number of tempos and time signatures. When a song is ready, you can export it to one of a dozen file formats (including AIFF and WAV) for use in other audio programs, or play back in realtime to a MIDI device. "

What is Nodal? Nodal is generative software for composing music, interactive real-time improvisation, and a musical tool for experimentation and fun. Nodal uses a new method for creating and exploring musical patterns, probably unlike anything you've used before. You can play sounds using Nodal's built-in synthesiser or any MIDI compatible hardware or software instrument. Nodal is based around the concept of a user-defined network. The network consists of nodes (musical events) and edges (connections between events). You interactively define the network, which is then automatically traversed by any number of virtual players. Players play their instruments according to the notes specified in each node. The time taken to travel from one node to another is based on the length of the edges that connect the nodes. Nodal allows you to create complex, changing sequences using just a few simple elements. Its unique visual representation allows you to edit and interact with the music generating system as the composition plays. Nodal is compatible with DAW software such as Ableton Live, Logic Studio, Digital Performer and Garage Band. It can transmit and receive MIDI sync. You can edit a network using the mouse and keyboard, and optionally a MIDI keyboard. Nodal recognises and sends notes, sync, continuous controller and pitch bend information. Features simple but powerful interface change your composition while it is playing - great for improvisation and quickly creating new musical ideas compatible with any MIDI synthesiser and major Digital Audio software can run stand alone using the built-in synthesiser live performance tools: trigger complex sequences within the network using any MIDI keyboard or MIDI input device define your own interactive continuous controller curves (e.g. Volume, Pan, Modulation) for greater musical expression built-in examples and tutorial information to get you started and making music quickly

Information on inquiry-based learning Inquiry-based learning is often described as a philosophical and pedagogical response to the changing needs of the information age, but its roots are much deeper. It assumes that all learning begins with the learner. That is, what people know and what they want to learn are not just constraints on what can be taught; they are the very foundation for learning. Aspects of this idea appear in the earliest writings on education, including Plato/Socrates in the West and Confucius in the East, but is more commonly traced back to Rousseau and Pestalozzi. Its fullest articulation can be found in the writings of John Dewey, whose wisdom derived in large part from his ability to see the unity across the social work of Jane Addams, the schools work of Ella Flagg Young, and the pragmatist philosophy developed by Charles Sanders Peirce and William James.
