1. Presented by Jim Farmer at The Common Solutions Group Spring Meeting Wednesday, May 7, 2003 Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey Learning Management Systems Lessons from the Initiatives

2. JA-SIG Collaborative UK JISC Approach Focus on the use of shared content All learning management systems must demonstrate IMS packaging interoperability using test packages. Develop long-term software support Bodington – Funded by Oxford, Manchester and Leeds Universities from academic budgets. Support multiple pedagogies Classes, Tutorials, Tutored distance learning, self study Integration with library systems Direct links to library catalog entries, availability at libraries, reserve

3. JA-SIG Collaborative Colloquia

4. JA-SIG Collaborative Colloquia group discussions

5. JA-SIG Collaborative Colloquia features Peer-to-peer learning management and groupware system Supports and encourages self-organising groups Provides asynchronous group and personal conversation facilities Allows personal information to be shared between participants Allows learning and other online resources to be referenced and accessed runs on all Java enabled platforms

6. JA-SIG Collaborative Colloquia pedagogy Monitored communication with “promote” feature, mentor comments Class or person-to-person e-mail exchanges Monitored activity _____________________________ “Available as a service” in other learning management systems

7. JA-SIG Collaborative Bodington “The Bodington System is different: it gives you buildings, floors, and rooms to allow you to structure your material the way that most fits the structure of your courses and it gives you tools such as discussion rooms, questionnaires, web documents, multiple choice papers etc. which you can arrange in any way you like.” From http://bodington.org/bodington/opensite/bodproject/ information/about/overview/, 5 May 2003

8. JA-SIG Collaborative Bodington “If it's appropriate you can publish your lecture notes as a set of pages in a reading room but if you want students to interact with you and the lecture notes you could create a discussion room instead and publish them as attachments to a series of messages you post throughout the course. You could even upload material into a multiple choice paper and use them in the feedback notes for the paper.” From http://bodington.org/bodington/opensite/bodproject/ information/about/overview/, 5 May 2003

13. JA-SIG Collaborative Defense Acquisition University “The DAU coordinates the acquisition education and training programs to meet the training requirements of approximately 129, 000 DoD Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (AT&L) workforce personnel. As the DoD corporate university for acquisition education, the DAU sponsors curriculum and instructor training to provide a full range of basic, intermediate, advanced, and assignment-specific courses to support the career goals and professional development of the AT&L Workforce.

15. JA-SIG Collaborative DAU Software Developing a full-featured “open source” learning management system Development began with student registration and records Developed in modules; modules available as developed and implemented ADL/SCORM compliant As announced at the “Open Source for National and local eGovernment Programs in the U.S. and EU” Conference 17-19 March 2003, Washington, DC

19. JA-SIG Collaborative Advanced Distributed Learning “The Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative, sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), is a collaborative effort between government, industry and academia to establish a new distributed learning environment that permits the interoperability of learning tools and course content on a global scale. ADL's vision is to provide access to the highest quality education and training, tailored to individual needs, delivered cost-effectively anywhere and anytime.” From http://www.adlnet.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=abtadl &cfid=592004&cftoken=16884400, 6 May 2003

20. JA-SIG Collaborative ADL SCORM “ The SCORM is a reference model that defines the interrelationship of course components, data models and protocols so that learning content objects are sharable across systems that conform with the same model. The SCORM contains a collection of specifications adapted from global specification bodies and consortia to provide a comprehensive suite of e-learning capabilities enabling interoperability, accessibility and reusability of Web-based learning content.” From http://www.adlnet.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=abtadl &cfid=592004&cftoken=16884400, 6 May 2003

21. JA-SIG Collaborative ADL “Rumors” Preparing materials for a class, the Department of Defense now requires previously developed learning materials be (1) used if available and appropriate, or (2) repurposed. If none are available, (3) developed. To implement his policy, the ADL development interest has now turned to digital repository access and metadata practices. Some of the ADL staff would prefer an “open source” software development. “A reliable source,” Learning and Training Conference, Washington, DC, 1 May 2003

24. Supplement During subsequent discussions, references were made to simple methods of creating content—RSS 1.0 + modules is one technology. These slides show an example using JA-SIG’s uPortal RSS channel. MIT’s Open CourseWare material is illustrated using a prototype uPortal OCW viewer channel (portlet). Using the uPortal XLIFF viewer channel, translated documents using the XLIFF standard can be viewed showing either the original or the translation, or both languages—side-by-side.
