[EuroPython] Zope track: Educational Modelling Language

[Tom Deprez]

Hi Georg,

Thanks for your introduction.
It looks somebody added you already to the ZopeTrack wiki, great! Please if
possible send a
sort of abstract (after you figured it out) of the talk to the list. Or to
me, paul and martijn.
Please also provide us how much time your presentation wil take.

Thanks for willing to give a talk about this interesting subject. I'm
looking forward to it, since I'm thinking I'll need to implement such a
thing in the 'far' future as well for our department.

Best Regards,

Subject: [EuroPython] Zope track: Educational Modelling Language


Hello Paul!
Hello EuroPython!

Itīs my first time on your list, so here is a short self introduction:
(I know that this is not the place for dicussion on this stuff.)

Iīm working for the University of Innsbruck (Department of Education), the
Tiroler Bildungsservice (the network of all Tyrolean educational
institutions)
and the Austrian educational portal run by our Ministry of Education.
My focus is the production and reuse of standardized (e)learning materials.

Major concepts for the XML-based production of didactical sophisticated
learning materials have been formulated in the Educational Modelling
Language
(EML http://eml.ou.nl ), developed at the Open University of the
Netherlands.
These concepts will be merged with other developtments in the area of
standardization of learning materials like SCORM, LOM and IMS
(www.imsglobal.org).

Now itīs time to implement these standards in tools that are available for
all
educational institutions and contexts from primary education up to
university
and adult education. So an opensource approach is the obvious way to go.

At the University of Helsinki Zope was used for the learning environment FLE
(Future Learning Environment, http://fle3.uiah.fi ). FLE uses parts of the
Educational Modelling Language as an export format. Now there are first
plans
with partners in the Netherlands to use Zope as the framework for an
authoring
environment for EML.

I would like to contribute with my educational standardization background to
better use the great potential of Zope in the area of (e)learning.
I donīt want to promise too much, so please give me three more weeks to
figure
out what kind of prototype we will be able to present in Charleroi
(proposal for my presentation: Zope as an authoring environment for EML).

Iīm new to your community and aware that there have been some activities in
this field like Zope-Edu and others. But so far I donīt know enough about
these activities and what are the actual plans there.

Comments, pointers to contacts etc welcome!

Thanks for your great job so far!
Looking forward to meet you in Charleroi
