Update on the Development of Institutional MLE Architectures Terry Rourke and Jim Bennett 22 July 2003
Technical infrastructure PDP Student Portal Learner Records Exam Board SHELL HUB SR VLE SR ioAgent
Shell Project • Central infrastructure • Learner Record database • Shell hub • Portal • Infrastructure at consortium sites • ioAgent • plug-ins …………………….. Delayed …………………….. Not going according to plan
Portal Delayed until November - after ioAgents and the LR database Aiming to enrich the basic functionality of the portal in the original bid document The University’s marketing department has offered to carry out student-based research for the portal The portal and LR database are felt to require a long-term sponsor
Plug-ins Suppliers are not participating in plug-in development as previously expected Cornwall UNITe site – Cornwall will probably resort to developing own csv-based plug-in SCAT EBS site - FD Learning withdrew some time ago and SCAT are to develop their own csv-based plug-in Exeter UNITe site – Exeter may try to develop own plug-in North Devon CampusIT site – ND are committed to developing their own IMS interface to the Shell hub University Hemis site – UoP are committed to developing own csv-based plug-in
The Longer-Term Vision FE HE Region FE LR FE LR Region UCAS School School HE LR SHELL HUB Exam Board HE FE School
Project Issues Suppliers How can we engage suppliers in the development of plug-ins or IMS interfaces? Are combined programme supplier meetings a good idea? Enriched Portal Should we seek funding to extend an existing south west portal that is already RDA funded – www.gradsouthwest.com? Regional Data Controller Should we try to have a regional data controller? Who? RDA, LSC?
