Sakai Wiki – Is LTI in our Future?
Process
• Review discussion points from Apereo Conference Wiki Discussion/BoF http://etherpad.ctools.org/p/rwiki_replacement
Review Marist’s previous xWiki integration work https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/SAKDEV/XWiki+Integration
Define Scope
Evaluating, finding and testing issues and with documentation
Explore how to get resources
Get buy-in to the project, keeping the community informed.
Work with Sakai PCM and Community
Identify Project Phases and Timelines
Target Sakai 11
Keep rWiki “alive” through Sakai 11
Sakai Wiki – Is LTI in our Future?
Phase 1
Investigate tools - update charts from earlier work
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/SAKDEV/Proposal+and+Development+Status#ProposalandDevelopmentStatus-section1
Continue to investigate xWiki as a forerunner
Create xWiki Sandbox
http://xwiki.ilearn.marist.edu/
Enable Basic LTI integration in xWiki sandbox
https://github.com/UOC/lti-xwiki
Need to determine and incorporate Teaching & Learning goals
Need to identify the technical possibilities & constraints
How should we survey the community?
Phase 1 – Investigation
Members working on user wiki tool desires/needs
Create documentation for SWIG to access xWiki sandbox though Basic LTI
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/postRwiki/xWiki+Pilot+LTI+Configuration
Sakai Wiki – Is LTI in our Future?
Phase 2
Complete evaluation of chosen replacement wiki
Complete technical integration assessment/recommendation
Deliver proposal to PMC for review
Sakai Wiki – Is LTI in our Future?
Phase 3
Implementation effort depends on integration:
Fully Integrated in Sakai and available within other tools such as Lessons, Assignments, Forums, etc.
Full integration may be a licensing issue
Most difficult and time consuming integration option
Will require changes to other tools to support integration
Requires major commitment from community
xWiki and Sakai are on different upgrade schedules which may cause release issues
Fully Integrated in Sakai, but not within other tools like existing rWiki
Full integration may be a licensing issue
Integration only slightly less complicated
Existing Sakai tools should not require changes
Requires commitment from community
xWiki and Sakai are on different upgrade schedules which may cause release issues
Sakai Wiki – Is LTI in our Future?
Phase 3
Implementation effort depends on integration: (Continued)
Integrated through a separate integration tool (BBB/Meetings Tool Model)
Full integration may be a licensing issue
Integration somewhat less complicated
Requires a new tool to be developed/supported
Requires commitment from community
xWiki and Sakai are on different upgrade schedules which may cause release issues
Basic LTI
No licensing issue
Easiest integration
Functionality limited by LTI integration
Write code integration and documentation
