Paul, We looked closer at referencing Sakai entities within XWiki and found that there is an easy way to include not only Sakai resources, but to also include links to other Sakai tools (e.g. assignments, forums, ...) from the FCKEditor. The Sakai FCKEditor has a javascript plugin that allows access to Sakai's Entity Broker which allows references to other Sakai tools and properties. This enables a wiki page author to include references to resources and other entities within Sakai.

Correct, XWiki has a fairly deep programming model, at entry level using velocity, a bit deeper with Groovy, and far deeper with java. All three layers can be published in a web-fashion. My scenario was fo a teacher to invite a "helping coder" (it could even be a consulting company) that would write dedicated reports that would use the Sakai objects to report in a more dedicated fashion. This would support learning analytics to become heavily learning scenario specific. For this to work, I would consider it easier for Sakai and XWiki to share some java objects, which is probably easy.

Correct, see http://curriki.xwiki.org for more details. It's clearly complementary to Sakai: a repository is to serve a large population while an LMS is meant to be institution specialized. paul _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
