History of the TSS project • TSS feasibility study 2005 • TSS ECC 2006 • TSS Connect IECC 2007 • TSS European Repository Project • Leonardo da Vinci • Lifelong Learning Programme 2007-2011
History of the TSS project Status of the project: February 2009 Innovation: realisation of the TSS experience platform for national and international usage and exchange
History of the TSS project Status of the project: February 2009 The problems we had to face during the process
Technical problems • Metadata tool in Wimba Create • Metadata according to Dutch standards (CSP) • Single sign-on and access to repository • Shared versus non-shared objects • Sharing versus organsational interests
Community principles • VLE independent • Storage of knowledge • Retrieving formal content • Sharing knowledge • Editing / re-using content • Searching and finding content • Arranging content • Collaborative Learning • Didactical Model (4CID-model)
applications (portals, search pages, VLE, etc) e-Portfolio VLE SRU/SRW RSS/ATOM OAI-PMH search engine Edurep metadata store OAI harvester OAI-PMH Dutch KlasCement Belgium Romania FENC U.K. TSS Europe repositories (IR, websites, databases, etc)
Webbased learning materials in 5 steps through the chain: • Step 1: Development of learning materials, correct labeling and storing • Step 2: Making learning materials available from the TSS Europe (FENC) • repository through correct use of metadata • Step 3: Searching and finding of learning materials by harvesting metadata. • (Edurep) • Step 4: Arranging (selecting en arranging) of learning materials, so that relevant • learning arrangements are produced. • Step 5: the actual learning: Usage of the learning materials by the students.
Arranging tool http://www.wimba.com/products/wimba_create/
Development • Word-plugin; • Generates interactive educational content for VLE; • Modified to (inter)national Content search profile(metadata); • Dutch and English interface; • Easy to use ( approx. 1 hour); • Automatic SCORM and IMS for retrievability; • Training available from the project in English and Dutch; • Special pricing for Wimba Create for members
Making available The TSS Repository • Accessible through Edurep; • “best practice” from the U.K. for Europe; • English, Dutch and Romanian infrastructure and arranging tools; • E-Source; • Review tools; • Single Sign On (Open Passport); • Standardization: connection Wimba Create and FENC through • content seach profile Under construction: http://www.tssdcp.ro http://www.tssdcp.nl
Finding Via e-Portfolio • Zeeland Digital Portfolio (Portfolio4U); • Open Source VLE based on SAKAI; • Searching interface ZDP/VLE linked to Edurep; • Storage functionality of content within portfolio;
Arranging Arranging in TSS with: • Wimba Create; • TSS Repository With Wimba Create learning objects are produced in MS Word; The learning object is stored in the repository after metadating according to the content search profile Within the TSS repository (FENC) it is possible to arrange a curriculum
Usage In VLE and Portfolio • In the TSS project teachers learn to store content correctly in the • repository; • Students learn how to find content and store it in their • portfolio; • Teachers learn how to retrieve learning objects and • arrangements from the repository and place them inside a VLE; • Teachers learn how to manage learning material within their own • field.
Usage In E-Source All members in the community decide for themselves what content they would like to share. http://www.e-source-wm.org/home/hosts/esource/members.aspx
