    A New Open Source Approach to Rapid Authoring of E-Learning - Presentation Transcript

    1. A New Open-Source Approach to the Rapid Authoring of E-Learning By: Reuben Tozman [email_address]
    2. What is….. Hi Reuben: I apologize for the delay in getting this to you however; I have not been successful in setting up the FTP site for the transfer of the klx file.
    3. Rapid Authoring – What are they saying?
      • Many trainers are finding the solution is at hand with rapid authoring tools which allow non IT specialists to write their own, high quality , e-learning in record time.
      • Mike Alcock
      • As Reuben Tozman points out, ‘Tools are not skills. Word processors don’t turn bad writers into good ones.’ Agreed, so take a little time to provide the skills. Rapid e-learning may be disposable, but it still has to be fit for purpose.
      • Clive Shepherd
    4. Rapid Authoring – What am I saying?
      • Getting To The Heart Of The Problem
      • E-learning is multidisciplinary. E-learning is about learning theory and it is also about technology . To create an e-learning program you must be able to create content that is consistent with the academia, literature and best practices around learning theories. You must also be able to create a piece of technology that is consistent with the literature, academia and best practices around electronic communications.
      • Myth About Tools
    5. The Problem – Current Rapid Authoring
      • Poorly designed courses
      • Short term savings, long term hassles
      • Proprietary formats at the source
      • Devaluation of expertise at all levels
    6. The Solution – Future Rapid Authoring
      • Team based approach
      • Open source technology
      • Separation of content from presentation and delivery
      • Instructional design templates versus technology based templates
    7. Rapid Authoring the Next Level
      • We can author content for multiple delivery platforms in a single file.
      • We can re-brand and convert 1000 courses to a new learning management system at the same speed as converting 1 course.
      • We can author content for a flash exercise without ever opening flash to do so.
      • We can do all this using non-proprietary software.
    8. The Basics - HTML vs. XML
      • XML is not a replacement for HTML.
      • XML and HTML were designed with different goals:
        • XML was designed to describe data and to focus on what data is.
        • HTML was designed to display data and to focus on how data looks.
      • HTML is about displaying information, XML is about describing information.
    9. What is the Structured Content Development Model
    10. Content Structures
      • <BH2007><page><list>
      • <bulletedPoint> Content Structures define content type. </bulletedPoint>
      • <bulletedPoint> For example, we could define this bullet as a “bulleted point”. </bulletedPoint>
      • <bulletedPoint> The “bulleted point” is part of a “list”. </bulletedPoint>
      • <bulletedPoint> The “list” is part of a “page”. </bulletedPoint>
      • <bulletedPoint> The “page” is being seen by “BH2007 attendees”. </bulletedPoint>
      • </list></page></BH2007>
    11. Content Structures – Rapid Authoring
      • Example: Content Structure for a multiple choice question .
    12. Content Structures – Rapid Authoring
      • Example: Content Structure for a puzzle exercise
    13. Content Structures – Rapid Authoring
      • Example: Bloom’s Taxonomy and DITA
    14. Delivery Templates – ‘Processing’
      • Dictate what to do with content structures and elements.
      • Made up of Style Sheet and Delivery.
      • How it looks, How it behaves, How it’s delivered.
      • LMS Standards are found here.
      • Multiple delivery templates (processing) for a single content structure.
    15. Rapid Authoring Demo
      • Changing Puzzle with Notepad
      • View It
      • YOUR TURN
      • Modify the existing notepad file, save it under a different name and return to me.
      • Choices – Multiple Choice or Puzzle?
    16. Getting Started
      • “ That’s great but I don’t think we’re ready for that ”.
      • Everybody
    17. Getting Started
      • Like any other change, it requires commitment.
      • Implementation requires one (1) to two (2) months.
      • Team members include: Project Manager, Instructional Designer, Writers, Schema Developers, Web Developers, QA, SMEs.
      • Design a content model.
    18. Getting Started – Tools
      • XML Editor (XML Spy, XML Mind, Infopath, etc)
      • Stylesheet Editor (Stylevision)
      • DITA Opensource Toolkit ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/dita-ot )
    19. Getting Started – Standards
      • DITA ( http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev =dita ) ( dita.xml.org )
      • S1000D ( http://www.s1000d.org/ )
      • SCORM ( www.adlnet.org )
