Moodle
Has anybody had any experience with Moodle, the course management system (http://moodle.org/). Can Rev stacks be integrated with it ? tnx, Bob... Robert J.

RE: Moodle
Yes and no. it clearly looks like a phpnuke style php-cms. In RunRev TAOO is the only system i know capable of emulating such an environment right off. This is one of my goals (but im blocked by my isp sql wise. And im not sure my license will go that far. So i have a phpmyadmin translator and different tools to manage the sql... I still have to make a few translators to have that stack-integrated into TAOO but it will be automatic. There's a handy phpnuke or phpmyadmin export database for it. depends on what you need integrated... TAOO is a language integrating environment btw... cheers Xavier http://monsieurx.com/taoo -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert J.

To the degree that it adheres to the common courseware interoperability standards (SCORM, IMS, AICC), it should be relatively straightforward to make courseware in any tool to integrate with Moodle. Some portions of these standards are limited to in-browser delivery, so of course those are out of the loop for Rev (and most other authoring systems). But for anything delivered on CD-ROM over over networks to be run from its own executable beyond the browser, that's precisely the objective of these interoperability standards. Many years ago I build a pair of courses for a corporate client designed for compliance with AICC (a less popular CMS standard, and its decreasing relevance is welcome as it was odd for an interop standard to include so many Microsoft-specific elements). I made the courseware in ToolBook, and the CMS was made in VB. The data transfer mechanisms were file-based and simple in that spec, and because more recent specs like IMS make strong use of XML they are in many ways even simpler. I haven't used Moolde myself, and haven't needed to make CMS standards-compliant courseware in a long time. But the Moodle docs seem very extensive and they have an active support community, so hopefully it won't be hard to learn what's needed for integration. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation __ Rev tools and more: http://www.fourthworld.com/rev ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I kind of made my DiscreteBrowser for this reason. In terms of FrontEnd GUI building, RunRev is an excellent interpeter for such delivery systems where the output is not always conform to the user's preferences. Hence adding the right filters to show it correctly and soon in his own prefered language via web delivery. In-browser? No such limitation imohaooo (in my own humble art of objects opinion). as you said before with any standard you can make a straghtforward tool. If the content is expected, the gui can know what to do also in a small frontend - if that's what you meant instead. Worth more exploration in any case! cheers Xavier ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Of those Moodle supports SCORM modules only. Otherwise, it is all custom programmed. It is not designed for high interoperability. Moodle is a set of PHP modules with MySQL or PostgreSQL db behind. It should be possible to connect to Rev through sockets with a php-based pathru lib.

Re: Moodle
Hi Robert, I'm using Moodle in my course. Haven't tried integrating Rev stacks, though, mostly because just uploading them to my department's ftp server frequently fubars them to the extent that I need to use dropEdit or dropStuff or one of those things to restore the file creator info. But if you hear of a way, I'm all ears! Judy On Thu, 5 May 2005, Robert J. Earp wrote: Has anybody had any experience with Moodle, the course management system (http://moodle.org/).

RE: Moodle
Judy, That's one of the reasons I wrote the Discrete Browser now renamed as DeepCyberSpace i just re-released it on http://MonsieurX.com/forums. Click on the releases. Make sure you get the GIM.rev library first. The complex stack script in it is an extensive page analisys/parser that gets the information out of a website that you need. The filter/translation modules should be released in the coming weeks. For all those who downloaded the DiscreteBrowser, the download file is now the same as DeepCyberSpace.rev. All of it is is beta status (see the b in the version) and under non-for-profit free opensource license. cheers Xavier -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Judy Perry Sent: Friday, May 06, 2005 06:02 To: How to use Revolution Subject: Re: Moodle Hi Robert, I'm using Moodle in my course.

RE: Moodle
Thanks, Xavier... I'll try to get a look at it for incorporation next term.
