11. EPE Release 2 IOC Review August 7, 2012 2.10 Inquiry style lesson template Purpose Develop an initial "model template" that supports a structured, guided or open inquiry based lesson format. Description Survey existing online education sites Sketch out an interface that will meet EPE needs Risks Addressed (n/a) Not necessarily a risk, so much as a need to identify a viable draft interface to develop towards. 10

12. EPE Release 2 IOC Review August 7, 2012 2.10 Inquiry style lesson template Results: An initial model for managing content –Lessons contain Sections which contain Pages –Pages will be created using predefined “templates” –Lesson templates may also be provided A first cut at a possible User Interface 11

13. EPE Release 2 IOC Review August 7, 2012 EPE-CI Integration Progress Since LCO… EPE-CI Interface Meetings (lead by PMO) 11/22, 12/20, 1/12 –To establish interface needs of EPE for R2 –To insure collaboration and communication across IOs EPE-CI-CG Meeting on Glider data (lead by PMO) 1/5 –Established the data processing pipeline from CG to CI to EPE –Reviewed availability of archived glider datasets and timeline for real-time streams –Started discussion on access and processing requirements Continuing to work on functional interface requirements –In R2, EPE will focus on the development of end-user interfaces, built on top of rudimentary services that support development and usability testing. –CI services will be incorporated when they become available as appropriate, mainly towards the end of construction. –Discussion of needs for Release 3 will commence during R2 construction, in order to inform R3 Inception plans. 12 https://confluence.oceanobservatories.org/display/ENG/EPE-CI+Interfaces+and+Interdependencies

14. EPE Release 2 IOC Review August 7, 2012 EPE-CI Integration Plans 13 InterfaceDescriptionStatus Data Interface (Web Services) Access to scientific data via web services is required to support visualization tools, focusing first on glider data. Available at R2 IOC Web Application Hosting CyberPoP hosting of the EPE web applications to insure scalability, fault tolerance, etc. Available at Build 2 PRR Ontology RepositoryIn R3, CI will develop a service to manage custom ontology repositories that could be used to support CM suggestions. Discussions starting in R2 Resource Management ION could be used to host some or all EPE resources. Retrieval of ION resources may also be needed. Evaluate after R2 Common User LoginCould be used to standardize user login with a common member database across OOI services Evaluate after R2 User InterfaceThe CI UI framework could be used to provide the EPE UI, provided it is compatible with underlying EPE technology choices and fits within scope. Alternatively, just the “look and feel” can be mimicked, provided it is usable and appropriate for education audiences. Evaluate after R2 Custom processing pipelines Custom scripts can be written to provide web services for customized science data streams to support EV tools. Evaluate in R3
