1 FREMA: e-Learning Framework Reference Model for Assessment Lester Gilbert David Millard Yvonne Howard University of Southampton, UK University of Strathclyde, UK University of Hull, UK

2 Introduction What is FREMA? –JISC funded Project between Southampton, Strathclyde and Hull –Part of the e-Learning Framework (ELF) effort What is the ELF? –Service Oriented Architecture for e-learning systems –Layered (Domain services over Common Services) –Dynamic and evolving What is a Reference Model? –A description of how services behave within a particular domain –A community resource

3 What is a Reference Model? Domain Definition –Overview of the domain, and how projects and standards fit within it Assessment Domain Definition Use Cases Service Profiles Gap Analysis Reference Impl’ Identifying Common Usage Patterns –Scoping the FREMA Project Gap Analysis –Mapping of Use Cases to the Services in ELF Service Profiles –Formal descriptions of those services Reference Implementation –Of key/core services –Examples –Validation –Resource Common Usage Patterns Developing Use Cases –Formal descriptions of usage patterns

4 What does it look like? An evolving, cross-referenced, searchable web site Indexed resources and narrative descriptions of the domain UML Use Cases and Scenario documents Service descriptions, narrative and WSDL Service implementations to download (Java/.NET) Different gateways into the model according to how you want to use it Assessment Domain Definition Use Cases Service Profiles Gap Analysis Reference Impl’ Common Usage Patterns

5 How might you use it? Use the Reference Implementation –Build on some or all of the developed services Use the Service Profiles –To develop your own services that will fit into the framework Use the Use Cases –To help understand usage patterns within the domain –Develop new Service Profiles and thus Services Use the Domain Definition –To develop a context for your own work –Understand how existing work fits together –Identify standards –Locate experts Assessment Domain Definition Use Cases Service Profiles Gap Analysis Reference Impl’ Common Usage Patterns

6 Road Map to a Reference Model Incremental Evolutionary Agile Community Open Source Components –Using existing open source infrastructures and web services, e.g. Web servers, authentication services

7 4 work packages, 11 deliverables, 1 year Work Package 1 –Domain Definition –Define our ‘footprint’ in the domain Work package 2 –Use cases and scenarios –Web Service profiles –Reference implementation of a core model Work package 3 –Review And evolve use cases from wp2 –Extend the core use cases –Evolve and extend the web service profiles –Evolve and extend the reference implementation July ‘05 October ‘05 April ‘06

8 WP4: Engagement and Dissemination Working with our Domain Experts –CETIS Assessment Sig –Research Projects TOIA – Technologies for Interoperable assessment ASSIS – Assessment Sequencing APIS – assessment Provision through Interoperability … and many others –Standards Bodies In Assessment – IMS, OSIDs … In Web Services - SOAP, WSDL, WSRF, W3C … Working with the e-learning community to disseminate and evolve the web service framework –Toolkit developers - ASAP –Application developers

9 Talk to us About what you want from a reference model Important resources (projects/standards/systems) you want to see included Help us define the domain and scope our footprint Contact Yvonne Howard (ymh@ecs.soton.ac.uk)
