The SLeD system aims to support learning transfer through IMS Learning Design, validating designs, generating variations, and modular architecture. It uses CopperCore service architecture for communication and rendering, with Java-based development. Implementation issues are addressed, such as technical challenges with AXIS and attachments. Development timelines and tools for investigating learning design and user interfaces are emphasized.

SLeD: Learning Design System • Overall aim to support and investigate the transfer and representation of learning using IMS Learning Design • Validation of designs • Generating variations in design • Representing generic ways to use tools • Modular architecture
SLeD: Systems view • CopperCore (OUNL) • Level A (existing) • Level B • Level C • Service communication • Player system (OUUK) • Built around CopperCore • Rendering • Description of environment – service descriptions • Interconnection via services (prototype uses Java) • Development will be in Java/JBoss/SQL
CopperCore Service Progress • Done • Level B,C implemented • SOAP enabled including WSDL files • Inline documentation finished • Installation/making available via SourceForge • To do: • additional documentation
SLeD: Implementation issues • Learning Design – open issues in standard – UNFOLD meeting helpful • Need for more examples • Sakai OSIDs – not as useful as hoped but interesting • Switch to services not completed yet
CopperCore: Technical issues encountered • When using AXIS • difference between static generated WSDL file and run time generated WSDL file • Attachments different specifications are incompatible (SwA, MTOM, WS-Attachments using DIME). Our temporary solution: avoid attachments using base64binary
Process issues • Development bay • used SourceForge • Development notes on website – praised • Timescale • Short and over summer • Good idea to try to work to six month • Reporting • UML/Use cases/Releasing software
Usage • Tool for investigating Learning Design • Development of user tools • New User Interfaces • More accessible toolkit than CopperCore • E.g. link to Reload editor • Aim to investigate Learning Design and semantic description of tools • Link to pedagogic design and knowledge management
