TELCERT Test SystemTELCERT Workshop; Tools for the e-Learning Framework
This workshop introduced participants in the e-Learning Framework projects
and the broader JISC
community to the tools developed by the
TELCERT)
project. These tools exploit the IMS Application Profiling Guidelines which
offer the prospect of refining (i.e. profiling) a variety
of e-Learning technology specifications so as to better meet the needs of a
target community, without breaking underlying interoperability.
Does this sounds like 'have your cake and eat it?' At the workshop, participants
saw how, with the SchemaProf tool, a variety of
adaptations on an XSD can be performed whilst still remaining compliant with the base schema.
The Content Re-Engineering Tool (built upon
RELOAD)
takes the profiled
schemas from SchemaProf and using these, provides an editor for
constructing community-focused xml documents associated with a variety of
specifications . Current examples cover profiles of Content Packaging,
Learning Design, Learner Information and e-Portfolio.
Having produced your content or data based upon a community profile, the
profile definition is also used to configure the Open Group's Test
System. This enables communities to each create dedicated conformance
programme for their profile at far less cost than developing bespoke
testing from scratch.
