Project Management

Clarity – define as much as we can as early as we can Consistency – common terms, systems, methods Control – of risks through checkpoints and sign-offs

Technology How does this impact on “supported open & distance learning”?

Three major projects Structured Authoring Enterprise Content Management Virtual Learning Environment PRESENTPRODUCEPREPARE PDF Word HTML SCORM IMS OU VLE Schema Struct Auth XMetaL Web Form EXE etc, etc XSLT ECM Digital Asset Management

VLE OU VLE 1.0 (23 Jan 07) based on Moodle 1.7 Additional 1.8 functionality and accessibility being added Basic course web sites (text, graphics, resource links, course calendar, etc) Moodle quiz and OpenMark eAssessment Blogs and wikis Simple ePortfolio Federated search tool

Open University Learning & Teaching Solutions

OU paradoxes We want to be consulted –Everything takes too long ‘Leading the learning revolution’ –Move to greater templating & reuse Content-light, online, learning objects –Academics and students like textbooks Social constructivism –Are all students ready to participate in Web 2.0?

The future? Student activities and needs & Learning outcomes Not technology
