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
