1. Let them have Apps... Embed an open source LTI CASA Cloud App Store into your Moodle
Given by: Rose Rocchio, OIT, UCLA
Nick Thompson, OID, UCLA
Rex Lorenzo, OID, UCLA

2. What is an App? Static Content Not Interactive Reading material
Research Paper, Chapter reading
Functional Apps
Not content-specific
Chat, Video, Discussion boards
What’s “Not”… Everything on the web can be considered a “cloud” app....
Dynamic Content
Interactive Assignments
Assessments, Quizzes, games, course specific

3. How do we Enable Flexibility...

4. While supporting informed choices?
What is the App’s Privacy Policy?
Is it Secure?
Is this tool accessible?
What do they do with Student Data?
How does this integrate with my system?
Can I get my class data out of this tool?
We need an App Catalog so we can curate
the answers to these questions…

5. Share Cloud Tool Reviews

6. UCLA’s App Catalog
We need a flexible App Catalog – that we can curate and keep updated

7. App Catalog Info Bar

8. How is UCLA using an App Catalog to help manage it’s apps?

14. NGDLE Plug & Play via CASA

15. Launches Official Tools

16. Unofficial Tools ? Why would you have them in your catalog?
What does doing that give you?
Ability to provide “opt-in”
Ability to deliver privacy options in the cloud
Tracking of how many courses are using the tool

17. Deliver opt-in Privacy in the Cloud
Unofficial Tools require an “Opt-In” from Students

18. CASA opt-in – FERPA waiver
Allow Students to Opt-in
Future:
Allow students to opt-in with an Alias
Allow students to pass a preference on how they would like to consume the tool/content (say with Zoom text…)

19. CASA on Rails Review data
The Matrix App - Unofficial

20. How do we share this meta data across Higher Ed?
We can use CASA to “peer” with other App Catalogs!
CASA (Community App Sharing Architecture) is an IMS Global Standard to share Cloud/Web/Mobile app meta data

21. What is CASA?
CASA stands for ‘Community App Sharing Architecture’ and it is an IMS Global Standard to share Cloud/Web/Mobile app meta data

22. CASA the Standard allows HE to
Share Homegrown tools
Share Cloud Tool Reviews & Meta Data about:
Privacy
Accessibility
Security
Licensing
LTI Versions
Caliper Metric Profile Streams

23. Democratizes the App Store Landscape
Goals in the UC
Share Cloud Reviews within UC system
Share Homegrown Tools with each other
Share Configuration of Tools
Instruct Tools on LRS Endpoint once
Deliver opt-in Privacy in the Cloud
Democratizes the App Store Landscape
Provides the potential for a robust networked app environment or eco-system
Publish your Libraries special collections and LTI Apps, curate the apps available in the network
Curate Apps
NOW: Peer, Type, Category, Privacy, LTI version
FUTURE: Caliper data streams & Competencies
curate tools based on institutional agreements and policies
It’s a new method of discovering resources
It’s a way to increase awareness about great LTI tools and web content
It’s a way to share knowledge about things that work  through local ratings

24. Accessibility Reviews
This is a pain point
Time consuming to do
Hard to keep up to date…
