I spent most of today with Nick and Peter from Interlect resolving some of the issues with the repository. The discussion revolved around getting intraLibrary to do what we want in terms of learning objects (LOs). I haven’t had a great deal of time previously to play with the system and it was a good [...]

I’m was intending on releasing the first version of the prototype this week, I suspect it will be end of next week now. Came across a few problems. Well the first isn’t really a problem but it is time consuming and must been done right. The question is what Rights package are we going [...]

Linking to intraLibrary

Today I started looking at the repository in more detail. There are several jobs that need to be done in order to ensure that metadata produced by the automatic generator prototype will be successful integrated. The first of these is to define the subset of LOM that is to be applied to all LOs. Having [...]

An interesting discussion at the Repository Day on Monday with one of our X-stream (VLE) team leaders. His question to us could we give him a 10-word summary of the benefits the Repository would bring to an average overworked academic. For the research side it is fairly cut and dried. Research assessment is in future [...]

I, along with a lot of other bright people, have just attended the JISC e-framework workshop in London. Well, we thought we were bright when we turned up …. but now we’re not so sure. We just know we’re confused.

The workshop was not what most of us expected. We thought we were going to [...]

Colour coded output 2

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:03:52 GMT

http://streamlinenews.wordpress.com/2008/09/05/colour-coded-output-2/

In a previous post I discussed using colour to identify for the user the sources for the generated metadata. Whether it had come from the documents they had passed into the application or from one of the data collections. While I liked the idea I felt it was to complex which effectively defeated the [...]

Streamline aims revolve around tools that can be integrated into staff workflows with the minimum of disruption. The tools themselves should, in some way, make a computer based job easier. The first tool we have decided to develop is aimed at reducing the job of thinking and producing metadata for Learning Objects. Having examined previous [...]

Having never done an online conference before (I’ve used web cams and voice over IP with family and friends) and I was anticipating a new experience. Aside from this I was alos looking forward to finding out the views of the Emerge community on Web 2.) applications and their potential.
