Agenda

Authoring processes

4 ways to get content into ILIAS

Case Study: XLML

Summary






Online Authoring Process

Web



Online Authoring Aspects

IndependenceFrom separate authoring tools

From individual clients

Collaborative EditingDistributed authoring (ILIAS manual)

Inclusion of the learners

Content ManagementOrganisation, searchability, reuse

Quality management with tracking

LimitationsLayout and functionality

Editing speed, comfort and flexibility

Use outside the LMS

Platforms



Offline Authoring Aspects

Independence

From the LMS

From network access

Variety of authoring tools

Best choice for own requirements

Life cycle

Corrections in LMS possible?

Reload possible?

Structural changes and user data?

Integration

Linking, embedding of LMS objects?

Appearance and behaviour in LMS predictable?






Offline Content Integration Aspects

Navigation and linkingLinks inside and between modules allowed?

Tracking and conditions

InteractivitiesStorage of data, test results

SearchingKeywords, metadata, fulltext

Table of ContentsProvided by LMS or content module

Print VersionGenerated by LMS or uploaded

Notes and discussionsAssigned to which level (chapter, page, element)

Shown with the content?



Content creation for ILIAS

Online with built-in editor

Native ILIAS approach

Offline with XML import

ILEX tool

Exchange between ILIAS platforms

Offline with File / HTML import

Minimalistic approach

Offline with SCORM import

Standardized approach






ILIAS Editor

Browser based

Collaborative editing

Immediate changes

Comfort limited by web technology

Tight integration

Logical links to other ILIAS objects

Conditional navigation

Automated print version

Document style

Limited layout and window handling



ILIAS Editor: Example






ILIAS Editor: Example



ILEX

Editing with OpenOffice

reuse of existing documents

Import as native ILIAS modules

changeable afterwards

Best effort to convert documents

limits with nested tables-cells

care has to be taken with images

no internal references

Additional styles for ILIAS

Experiences: see following presentation






ILEX: Example in OpenOffice



ILEX: Example in ILIAS






HTML

Import of any web based material

Fast navigation

Uploaded content can be updated

Searchable with lucene server

No table of contents

Currently no tracking

Solution for preventing access

coming soon

can be a basis for tracking



SCORM

Reference model for sharable content

For publishing in LMS, not for exchange of sources!

SCORM 1.2

IMS content packages

LOM meta data

AICC runtime API and data model

fully supported in ILIAS 3

SCORM 1.3 (2004)

IMS simple sequencing for navigation rules

Asset:

basic content piece, just shown

SCO: „Sharable Content Object“

trackable, data set asigned

context-free (no links between SCOs!)






SCORM Content Aggregation Model

package

imsmanifest.xml

files(content, media, assessments)

meta data

organisations

resources

• tree structure

• context specific

meta data

• sequencing and

navigation rules

sub manifests

Case Study: XLMLeXtended Logical Markup Language

„Side-product“ of the project eL3eLearning courses for teachers on use of ICT

published as open source (www.xlml.org)

still used and further developed at FIM

Author oriented document typeused with a WYSYWIG XML editor

XHTML basedlimited freedom

Additional elementsstructure

layout

linking



XLML Source Example






XLML Demo Content



XLML ILIAS 2 Integration

Realisation

special generation for ILIAS

ILIAS patch for XLML support

�toc, printout, notes, tracking, fulltext search

Disadvantages

no editing of uploaded content

target specific content packages

Advantages

very integrated look and feel

additional functionality, e.g. send-in forms






XLML: Send-In Form I



XLML: Send-In Tutor View






XLML: Send-In Form II



XLML: Send-In Forum View






XLML: ILIAS 3 Integration

Current Realisation

Import as SCORM modules

�Content explorer by ILIAS

�Client-side Java needed

Extension for send-in forms

Alternatives

XML import

�Loss of layout and special features

�Changeable afterwards (comfortable?)

HTML import

�No content explorer provided



XLML: SCORM 1.2 Package Types

Multiple SCOs, e.g. per chapters

LMS provides table of contents and navigation

Separate run-time data for each SCO

Not possible for XLML due to linking problem

One big SCO with multiple assets

Content has to provide all navigation

Only one run-time data set

Realized for XLML

No SCO, multiple assets

No run-time data

Not better than pure IMS Content Package

Realized for XLML






SCORM: Multiple Assets



SCORM: Single SCO






SCORM: Tracking Data



Proposal: IMS Content Packages

Provides meta dataBasis for searching

Provides a content structure Basis for tracking and linking

Probably manual setting of status like in ILIAS 2

Tacking possible on server sideOnly visits, no interactions

No Java/JavaScript needed on client side

Cross links allowed

Creatable for each legacy web contentE.g. with RELOAD editor

Probably with ILIAS itself

Flexible for extensions






Summary
