Teletop Course Environment
![Page 12: Strijker, A. (2005 12 06). Piloting Sakai In A Master Course Does It Really Work](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c562494a7959e6618b4636/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What was going on? (1)• 1997: Initial development of TeleTOP in
Department of Educational Technology
• 2000-now: large-scale use of TeleTOP in all departments– Incl. new, richer releases– 2003: commercial spin-off: TeleTOP BV
• 2003: first student portal (developed by students!)
![Page 13: Strijker, A. (2005 12 06). Piloting Sakai In A Master Course Does It Really Work](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c562494a7959e6618b4636/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A little bit of history (2)• 2004: lots of activities
– open standards (IMS) are emerging, as well as the SCORM; we deliver a discussion paper
– we move more and more to J2EE for webapps– students complaints grow and grow (lack of
integration, information is out-of-date, inreliable and sometimes not findable)
– UT Policy = Campus Blend: all programmes will have f2f and online components (in different mixes)
