Roger Rist (Director) Phil Barker (Project Manager) Santiago Chumbe (Technical) Neil Fegen (Human Factors) Malcolm Moffat (EEVL projects) What ?: What ? Three search service toolkits... d+ elf toolkit from Edinburgh MDC elf toolkit from Oxford SPP xSearch portlet from RDN ...embedded in two VLEs ... WebCT Campus Edition 4 Moodle ... As simply as possible. Why ? (human factors): Why ? (human factors) Initial rationale Lecturers wish to find resources for use in courses they run, and wish to make those resources available to their students via the course VLE. E.g. as reading lists Is there any benefit to having resource discovery tool embedded in VLE? Slide4: Why ? (human factors) Interviews with staff have identified the use cases relating to: Assessing the quality of online material retrieved according to Author/source, date, URL (e.g. ac.uk), citations Relevancy of resources discovered Notification of new resources Post-search saving, printing, reviewing/rating, citing How: Embedding in WebCT: How: Embedding in WebCT All three embedded as URL tool Inspired by d+ WebCT 'widget' Very simple, very loose. How: MDC & SPP xSearch in Moodle: How: MDC andamp; SPP xSearch in Moodle Embedded as a Moodle 'resource' Very simple, very loose Behaves as external resource SPP Portlet could not be decoupled from SSP portal framework (which doesn’t implement WSRP) How: d+ in Moodle: How: d+ in Moodle Embedding as simple 'web resource' did not work: query went OK but d+ timed out before replies received. (Possibly know how to fix this now.) Created a Moodle activity to interface with d+ via SRU. (Attempted to use MDC via SRW failed —lack of time to explore this) Challenges and Problem Areas : Challenges and Problem Areas Timing for talking to users SPP WSRP implementation (or not) Licensing/availability d+ A few bugs, quickly fixed with help Time-out in Moodle (fixed?) MDC Late (but stable) Can’t save resource lists The Future : The Future Demos online for anyone to see, extensions available... Have not (yet) had time to Solicit opinion on whether our implementation meets use cases Look into resource lists Recommendations: Recommendations Open source lifecycle: cradle and death Start development as O.S., sort out ownership, licences, distribution Ensure maintenance.
