1 SURF X4L Repurposing of Content for Use in VLEs

2 Who are SURF X4L? Staffordshire University, Shrewsbury College of Art & Technology and Stoke College Other Partners are RNCB, WM-RSC, FENC and vendors VLEs include COSE, Learnwise and TekniCAL

3 What is SURF X4L doing? All about finding, reusing and repurposing content in VLEs Looking at tools, pedagogy and methods Looking at standards Staff development and Culture Change

4 What will SURF X4L do? Train staff to find, acquire, reuse & repurpose content to: Put into SURF VLEs Put into repositories for others to reuse & repurpose Produce pedagogic and good practice guides Produce new versions of COSE and other tools

5 SURF X4L @ Staffordshire University Main technical effort in investigating tools & systems and writing code to enable COSE content to be exported as standalone content. Content produced in COSE can now be saved as specification conformant content packages, needing only a javascript enabled browser for navigation & viewing. Such packages can be viewed in RELOAD, uploaded to the JORUM Intralibrary repository, and, as demonstrated using the ADL Sample RTE, with some modifications, run a SCORM conformant environment. See screenshots below, or ask for a demo to learn more Still much work to do, but the first project phase has been quite encouraging. Priorities now addressing structuring the content for aggregation & disaggregation to aid re-use, investigating changes to COSE architecture to progress with SCORM, more work in exchanging content with the proprietary VLEs (Blackboard, Learnwise and TekniCAL) used by project partners.

8 standalone COSE content package in the Intralibrary viewer >> << COSE content package in the ADL SCORM RTE SURF X4L

9 SURF X4L @ Shrewsbury College Wide range of learning materials, tools & learning objects made available to staff: NLN Materials FENC Materials JISC Collections RDN Materials

10 SURF X4L @ Shrewsbury College Produced range of materials for each curriculum area Word documents (converted using authoring tool) PowerPoint Web page creation Hot Potatoes Teknical question designer & authoring tools A range of sample materials for each subject: Introduction Resources Quizzes Summary A learning package created from a series of learning objects or ‘chunks’ of learning

11 SURF X4L @ Shrewsbury College Use of Teknical authoring tool Standard word document Creation of an interactive learning package

12 SURF X4L @ Shrewsbury College Uploaded a range of materials onto Shrewsbury College’s VLE Virtual Campus (Teknical) Structure set up for each curriculum area and school Staff beginning to produce more material & use the system Integration of collaborative tools

13 SURF X4L @ Shrewsbury College NEXT… Continue production of learning materials in various formats Assisting staff to produce materials /objects Further development of metadata and compliancy Transfer of learning packages from one VLE to another

14 SURF X4L @ Stoke College Standalone Packages –Recombo –LWP –Lectora –LRN3 Toolkit –Canvas –Crocodile Clips Plugins for Applications –PPT/Frontpage LRN Export –Teknical –courseGenie Evaluation of Authoring Packages

15 SURF X4L @ Stoke College Standalone Packages –Recombo –LWP –Lectora –LRN3 Toolkit –Canvas –Crocodile Clips Plugins for Applications –PPT/Frontpage LRN Export –Teknical –courseGenie Authoring Packages & Delivery Environments VLE –Learnwise –COSE Standalone –LRN3 Toolkit –ADL RTE –Teknical Viewer –Black Arrow

16 SURF X4L @ Stoke College Methodology Mixed Sample topics –Variety of subject areas/levels –Differing Media/delivery requirements –Wide range of data sources Data Sources Legacy Materials –FENC –In House Authored Free Public Libraries NLN Resources I & II Granada Media Libraries In House created Media –Sound/Video/Flash Subject Areas Food Technology AMSPAR Meetings Skills Web Design Electronics Dyslexia Awareness Brickwork CIMA Accountancy Foundation Degrees (with Staffs Uni)

17 SURF X4L @ Stoke College Findings so far… Interoperability currently rather poor No one authoring environment or delivery system copes well Some not at all
