2. 2/13 Overview  A management perspective I’m not so technical, so I asked my PhD students and Research Assistants what I should say at the TENcompetence workshop.  Some issues around SOAs for CVTLEs We have completed a SOA VRE. This is what my PhD students and Research Assistants seem to be worried about. Questions. No answers…  Tell me where I’ve got it wrong I may not have understood what my PhD students and Research Assistants said, and your feedback will certainly help me when I report back.

6. 6/13 VRE to CVTLE:Workflow rename “Teaching and learning” control? OK, it is just a name…

7. 7/13 VRE to CVTLE:Added services That will have to be quite a clever repository… That is very straightforward, right?

8. 8/13 Orchestration issue 1CVTLE It can’t work that way!

9. 9/13 CVTLE Orchestration solution 1? That’s better. But what about the QTI?

10. 10/13 R2Q2 QTI renderer issue 2 QTI XML Rendered XHTML Answer XML Feedback XHTML State must be remembered somewhere somehow…

11. 11/13 CVTLE: Orchestration solution 1+2? “Teaching and learning” control? It’s got serious work to do. And…

12. 12/13 CVTLE: Orchestration solution 1+2? Looks like we need a whole bunch of “Vogten adaptors”
