OpenACS Webinars [openacs.org]

Posted by Tracy Adams on 12 Oct 2006 02:13 AM
For the next 3 Sunday afternoons, I'll be giving OpenACS webinars. These will cover the topics I'm going to be presenting at the full day OpenACS training in Boston on Nov 3rd. They will start at 2:30 PM Eastern and go for 60-90 minutes. Please come if you'd like to learn from the beginning and you'll also be helping me out in preparing. These will start this Sunday (10/15)

Also, next Friday (10/20 at noon Eastern) I'll be covering Site Map Administration. This particular topic is good for both technical and non-technical as it covers a lot of the special parts in OpenACS.

And finally, Friday 10/27 at noon Eastern, I'll be doing a user training on the survey module and also showing some modules ACSPropel has built as simple extensions.

Registration will open soon. I have webinar software for 15 slots (linux clients supported) so that will be the class limit.

New version of the .LRN IMS-LD 1.1.0 tagged and released [openacs.org]

As part of the E-LANE project, the uc3m is glad to announce the second release of the IMS-LD package. We are also glad to announce that we were invited to give a demo of the package in the IMS Global Consortium Quarterly Meetings and Learning Design Summit, which will be held in the Open University of the Netherlands in November.

Among other things, the package includes:

  • Full Level A support (parser and player)
    • Simple sequencing of activities
    • Simple integration with LORS and Assessment
    • Services support: E-mail and Forums
    • Roles support for the Unit of Learning (UoL)
  • Full Level B support (parser and player)
    • Properties support
    • Conditional sequencing
    • Evaluation of conditions/expressions
    • Support of imsldcontent resources (where the users can manipulate properties)
    • Services support: Monitor

The package is being developed in the HEAD branch of CVS. If you want to try it you have two options:

  1. Use our test server: http://strauss.gast.it.uc3m.es/ (There you will find info about the a ccounts)
  2. Install .LRN from the CVS or the latest tarball, then get the package from CVS and install it. (IMS-LD install guide)

We will now focus on:

  • Support for Level C
  • Monitoring tools for the course administrators
  • Fixing bugs and improving the package (both user interface and code)

You are welcome to try the package, and any suggestions, comments or bug reports will be greatly appreciated.
