11 Technical solution UniGE development USI LOR project development Fedora Harvest Ingest 11

12 Analyzing Dokeos LCMS 1. Before Dokeos LCMS (now) Each course stores its objects 2. With Dokeos LCMS (current development) Learning object oriented system Simple LO (document, question, post, wiki page) Complex LO (test, forum, wiki) Based on a kernel and on-demand applications LCMS (kernel Repository) WebLCMS (LMS application) E-Portfolio (application) Etc. 12

13 Dokeos 2.x: Based on a kernel and on-demand applications 13

14 Project Roadmap Done: Dokeos LOR general concepts UniGE-LOR install To do: Development of the Forum and Wiki LOs (on Dokeos) Develop ingest() and harvest() methods on each LO Install and test the USI PHP LOR module from Moodle Come to meet Patrick at eduhub days 2009 Tuesday, February 3rd 2009, 09:30-10:15 Interactive discussion session, AAA-Projects Search Ideas and Partners 14
