I think that Ariadne is pretty good. HTML editor looks familiar. Could be the same as Moodle used before. On my opinion Moodle doesn't need content management system anymore, because Moodle's editor is better than Ariadne's. You can make material already with Moodle's editor. On my opinion It's not necessary to adapt any features from Ariadne to Moodle.

  • Where in Moodle can I share resources across courses, respecting the login rights of the student?
  • How can I know that the version of document X, used in course Y, is the same as the one referenced in the exam?

My teachers, especially the language teachers with mp3 wishes, love your HTML-editor, I am the only sour one:

  • We have big problems with HTML-editor, because it is changing relativ paths into absolute paths (version 1.3.4 Is it solve in 1.4.2?):
    it is blocking backup / restore to new courses..
    Our teachers develop a course with HTML-editor, causing that accident is.


  • Of topic: I have still that other objection against your HTML-editor: the html-graveyard-effect. It becomes more and more seductiv to use this editor and create a blob of html-images-mutimedai-mess, blocking the reuse in reformatting for other purposes:
    Thanks to your HTML-editor, we leave more and more the sturcture of the early Moodle with it's title, summary, body, included image..
  • I hope that version 2.1 brings this choice between beautiful graveyard and a restricted, structured format back on stage..

Have you tried DMS? Have you tried my file manager? With my file manager you can download one file and all the courses see the new version immediately. When restorin a backup with 1.4.x absolute paths are rewritten so that the new course id is used.

I will move to 1.4.3 as soon it is out and then try again DMS, I like the view but still wonder why Firefox works correct but IE6 cannot find the downloadable file...

My filemanager? I will search..


I find: "Teachers don't have a portfolio, because they can use filemanager. Students have it in the "People" block and the link is "My Portfolio".

Can you explain this alittle more?

Making objects available to all courses

by Jo Murray -
Hi Ger,
 
So glad I've found you ....I wondering if there's an EASY way to make scorm learning objects available to more than one course within moodle.
 
You can see the set up we have through going to www.pelion.com.au ..we have a hosted version of moodle running there. I'm not sure what version it is.
 
I currently have a scorm object loaded through a zip file in course M04 and would like to make it available to other courses eg. M06, but don't seem to be able to move it and don't seem to be able to see the whole directory structure.
 
So I'm wondering if I upload the zip file into the site files, will it then be available to all courses?
 
 
I have a site file upload limit of 2MB however, but within each course the upload limit is 5MB, which is enough for demonstration purposes.
 
Any ideas for me?
 
thanks in anticipation
 
Cheers Jo
Currently what's in one course files directory isn't visible from another course files directory OR from the site file directory.

Your metacourse approach was very interesting.

Can you guide me where I can get more details on the metacourse function and what are the other options to share resources accross courses.

Thanks in advance

How about this as CMS? myDMS or Hive

by Scott Ingels -

What happened with myDMS integration in Moodle?  Seems the thread went cold last year and now we read about Moodle & Hive integration.

Unfortunately, HarvestRoad's license fees put it out of reach for most of us.

If myDMS is at a standstill, is there anything that comes close to Hive ? (which by the way is awfully nice package !)

I think one should be carefull referencing to Ariadne as a context management system. Appartenly, there are many Ariadne's. One of them is a CMS, the one i'm affiliated with, is a LCMS (learning content management system)

Note also that we started a moodle-ariadne integration project in which we provide access to the ariadne LCMS from within moodle. The idea is that this is of course transparent for the end-user. This way content doesn't end locked up inside the LMS but is also accessable through other search engines like e.g. merlot (http://fedsearch.merlot.org). Hence the content (learning object) becomes reusable in other LMS as we did similar integrations with blackboard, INES, ...

We think to use ARIADNE tools to reference and index learning contents.
But i haven't find any license file or pricing.
I've seen that you need an Oracle database, Tomcat/JBoss and next you just have to install tools.
What is the ARIADNE policy for this tools (kps, aws, silo, ...)

Re: How about this as CMS?

by Stefaan Ternier -
Our Ariadne tools are open source. So you can download, install and use them without a cost. Besides Oracle, we aim to offer database support for other DBMS's.

If you would be interested in an account on our test server, please send us your details.

There exists also a possibility to become an ARIADNE member: you might consider this if you would like support, training, influence on further evolution and development or if you would like to integrate your node in the ARIADNE network (and hence benifit from other learning objects, already available).

However even without being a member, we very much value your input/suggestions !

Thanks for this informations.
We have an Oracle 9 server so database is not a difficulty.
Have you a french correspondant ?

Actually, the person who implemented the moodle gateway is working at irit (Institut de recherche en informatique de toulouse).

So, this answer is yes wink
