  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.

  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

  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 Evaluation of Authoring Packages • Standalone Packages • Recombo • LWP • Lectora • LRN3 Toolkit • Canvas • Crocodile Clips • Plugins for Applications • PPT/Frontpage LRN Export • Teknical • courseGenie

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

  16. SURF X4L @ Stoke College

  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

  18. SURF X4L Contacts at Warwick • Mark Stiles m.j.stiles@staffs.ac.uk • Eddie Clarke e.a.clarke@staffs.ac.uk • Richard Booth richard.booth@shrewsbury.ac.uk • Steve Blakemore SBLAKE1SC@stokecoll.ac.uk
