Meeting Notes
What might be part of agenda? Lynn to write up, but here were some topcs
  • Is it possible to make Tests & Quizzes more compatible with OAE beyond integration at the tool level via bLTI-- restful service so that a new UI can be created; what would be needed to make the tool work well for both platforms. Is it feasible that new "samigo" would work in both CLE and OAE? JSF is outdated, so may have to be total rewrite. If so, build lightweight version first?--performance and ease of use prioritized over being comprehensive. We may not have time to discuss OAE needs in detail ( 2.11?) so that might be touched on at end but be a discussion for a separate session
  • 2.9 review: Keli and Christine not present, Lydia to briefly review bug fixes, new question types, etc.
  • Talk about proposed 2.10: settings work we've been discussing in last year, some stuff that IU might have for 2.10. Also EMI, Calculated question type (Aaron's)
  • Other ideas for 2.10: 
    • Wiris - image based equation editor
    • Bryan wants CKEditor in rewrite- If rewritten, it would be neat to have it work more like an FCKEditor plugin (mathedit for example) where you can just click a "multiple choice button" and then fill out the questions/answers inline inside the editor instead of having a different page for each question type
