It isn't up to Government agency staff, such as those employed by JISC to decide whether lists stay open.

It was requested in the "General Election Guidance 2005 " issued on April 5th by the Cabinet Office. Section H.10.e includes the following:

"Interactive functions such as discussion groups which allow the public posting of comment or debate should be suspended."

We operate several Government websites where apparently innocent discussion forums had to be suspended for the duration of the election. The guidance isn't only there to stop staff posting comment and opinion, but to stop everyone doing so. This is to remove any possible accusation that publicly funded systems are used to propagate campaign information and political opinion during the election.

I set up the new list as a means of keeping a discussion channel open in
the light of a decision that, in spite of Richard's Explanation, I still
don't understand. JISCMAIL is an academic discussion forum and for me
certain privileges and responsibilities go along with that. Anyone can
either post or not post. Government agency staff could simply have said
we will not be posting for the duration of the election. To shut down
the entire channel is indefensible in my view. List "owners" should only
manage the list on behalf of members. Members are not there to serve the
purposes of the list owner. The new list has over 180 members which I
believe is a substantial increase on the older list. I'm not sure what
that says, but I have offered to merge the Becta list and keep the new
one, thus ensuring that agency staff are not placed in the difficult
position in which they found themselves a month ago.

Now its back to problems with VLEs ... And why our SCORM tracking code
doesn't seem to be getting back to our server ...

In fact Nigel's new list has substantially fewer members than this list. When I last checked the numbers, just before xmas, this list had well over 700 members, primarily from UK HE and FE. Some suppliers, some academics from other countries, some UK schools, and staff from various agencies, such as Becta, Jisc, etc. I can't get up to date figures since I'm not the list owner now - however, it seems likely that it is still more than 700. ***************** List information: ***************** Remember - replies go by default to the entire list.

In an ideal world utterances from government departments/quangoes etc would be totally without an bias whatsoever but even in that case political parties will attempt to use such to their own ends. I was an agent that was my job! - to misrepresent everything towards my parties stance ;-) In those sort of circumstances and particularly during the 'heat' of a general election even if there is the slightest chance that an utterance is steering voters to vote in one way or another you can bet that the ones (perceived) not to be on the 'good' end of that will squeal. Those sort of issues can lead to court cases to overturn results (like we may see after this election as a result of the postal votes 'problem' anyway) and being an organisation at the wrong end of that can be very uncomfortable indeed. If one has any doubt about this then think about the issues around the BBC utterances last year and the ramifications that has had for them - and we were not even in an election at the time.

This includes most educational institutions. Presumably we shouldn't be providing students with any place out of public funds where they have freedom of speech to discuss the issues of the day either. And of course ALL JISC lists are available as a result of publicly funded computer resources. By the definition implied, they should ALL have been shut down, just in case, regardless of who "owned" them. Hmmmm does the BBC count as publicly funded?

The report has now been finished and sent to JISC (yesterday!). Obviously I cannot reveal what our conclusions are until JISC make it public, but I could answer some basic questions on LAMS. You may also be interested in looking through the archive at eped-lams (jiscmail list) where many issues were discussed. 1) Yes it is open source now. 2) It is IMS LD compliant (A at present but with plans to move to B/C) 3) I would not describe it as a VLE, to be honest, more a tool to easily sequence activities (so in this sense it goes beyond a VLE). This is obviously a big issue though. At Oxford we have three other projects of interest. The first is with the English Subject Centre and is looking at attitudes to reuse using LAMS sequences. The second (just starting) is an evaluation of other tools people use in designing for learning (mind mapping, office apps, smartboards); and the third (completed) has been integrating LAMS and TOIA with the Bodington VLE system.

The materials would need to have been created explicitly for the college and during the time paid for by the college to be the property of the college. Otherwise the copywright will remain with the person who created them. Since most colleges pay for teaching time only it is unlikely that they could claim that they had paid for the development of these materials. Yes you will have to check out contracts but even that will not guarantee the legality of use. Some of the contracts full time staff have had to sign (anything you develop while you work fo us is ours)have been judged not to be legally binding.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Hi A good point well made but my sense is at the moment IPR needs to be managed at the institutional level. Lots of open source products will enable sharing of resources. Both the Ferl, Cetis and JISC websites have stacks of information on these open source products: http://moodle.org/ http://plone.org/ http://www.uportal.org/ Worth checking out the example deployments to see who's using it and what for. The big thing to keep in mind is, who owns the IPR on your thoughts? For Educational Institutions and commercial organisations you may not have the right to exploit your ideas commercially. A good place to start when thinking of models for sharing resources is Creative Commons. This provides a framework for submission and is being consider as the basis of shared content repositories by the JISC, like the JORUM.

In-Reply-To: <[log in to unmask]> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I came across an interesting Guardian article about a university using mobile phones to deliver learning: http://education.guardian.co.uk/elearning/story/0,10577,1482497,00.html. "Lecturers at Coventry University have developed a teaching technique called 'm-learning', which allows students to download course material and listen to lectures via their mobile phones." The article says the scheme has been a huge success, and I think it's great that we're seeing innovative new ways of delivering learning. However, what about the potential dangers of mobile phones? Does m-learning expose students to high levels of radiation? If you look up mobile phones / mobile learning and health risks online, you find a huge contradictory array of research, suggesting that mobiles do pose some health risk, particularly to younger children with developing brains, but that they are still safe to use. I personally use my mobile for short calls only, as at one time it was my main phone, and I used to find that the side of my head got hot after long calls, which was unnerving! What do people think about these potentials pros and cons to m-learning? How do the educational benefits and potential health risks balance out?

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I think the two should work together: Maybe Sharepoint for all documents and learning assets that hyperlink to a VLE. Sharepoint does not yet ,however, have full metatagging facilities for picture-based resources - no doubt this will come. If you are able to implement Sharepoint with all its other components it starts to look more and more like a VLE or even an MLE. In this scenario you may have two or more VLE's sitting within Sharepoint for different sorts of students and applications. I do think purpose built VLE's will have a future within such an environment because of the need to structure learning experiences. However, if you have a free form group of collaborators or peers then a Sharepoint portal for the group offers interesting possibilities. I hope this makes sense (esp. to those further down the Sharepoint route)=20 -----Original Message----- From: Virtual Learning Environments [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Patrick Hickey Sent: 16 May 2005 14:37 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [VLES] Content Management System as Learning Environment?

We use a feed from the institutional LDAP for all oxford users and add anybody else that we see fit. Recently we have also employed a single-sign on solution here at Oxford )we use WebAuth) but have also still allowed our external users to login to the VLE just as before. This was fairly easy to achieve and seems to be working very well. In the longer term we plan to use the shibboleth facilities of Bodington (both origin and target [or SP and IdP]). The plan (which is hitherto untested (!)) is to have two versions of Bodington running side by side - one has the content but has 'logging in' disabled and the other contains username and passwords for all visitors. When a learner wants to access the VLE they are presented with a standard Shibboleth 'WAYF' page (where are you from page). Oxford students will select the 'Oxford user' option, others will select the 'Visitor' option. The Oxford users will log in using WebAuth and end up in Bodington as they do now, the visitors will log into the empty Bodington and will be allowed entry to the 'real' Bodington given a valid Shibboleth handle (with the relevant authorisation). There are obviously some rough edges to be smoothed out here but we intend to give this a try once Bodington has been converted to be an IdP. Adam Marshall -- Adam Marshall: OUCS, 13, Banbury Rd.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Hi All So given JORUM licences are to the institution then who owns the content? Does the individual maintain IPR over the content they submit? Is the institutional licence solely for the purpose on indemnity? We need to be able to offer a clear model for copyright, so contributors understand their rights when submitting resources. Having the confidence to contribute is very important to the success of a National Repository. The institutional licences raise a second question. Who is responsible for the approval of content that is submitted. Third party content will cause complications, how will this be managed?

Hi Rose,

I was approached by one of our lecturers in the Law dpt. recently regarding testbanks for three books that he's using as part of a course.

I downloaded Respondus LE which is free of charge but it doesn't link to our VLE and decided to contact OUP - they were very helpful and offered to upload the files provided we give them instructor access to the site (which I granted temporarily).

The actual test banks, once uploaded onto Blackboard were fully customisable and student's responses are fed through to the Gradebook.

In fact the way the questionnaires are designed is similar to the VLE's own test manager. The only difference is OUP don't need to buy a VLE and Respondus offers them the flexibility of offering test banks that can be used in different systems.

At the moment we are not considering buying the full system as Blackboard offers similar functionality. The lady I spoke to at OUP said that a single licence can be bought, and we will seriously have to look into this if demand increases.

I think the other issue to consider would be whether other publishers are likely to use the same software - I can only compare with MacGraw Hill who have in the past supplied us with course cartridges for another field and we didn't have to make use of another piece of software.

Hope this helps.

As a minimum, I'd suggest you don't display e-mail addresses or any other personal contact info, and don't use photos in the student profiles. You may also wish to set discussion forums etc up on a 'forced group' basis, with your own students in one group and AN Other in a separate group, of course that means your students won't get the benefit of the wider perspectives, quite a tricky one to balance. When you make the move to Moodle 1.5, you'll perhaps also want to turn off the messaging function. Not sure of the legal framework, but I think one has a higher duty of care to enrolled students than to those accessing the system on an 'as is' basis. I'd agree with Megan that locking things down with a proper AUP would be essential in this context, and someone will need to keep a careful eye on the log files and forum posts. Miles.

They were persistent and kept changing their names, details, etc. What we started doing was replying to them pointing out that from when the accessed our web site we could track them via their IP address (which is very difficult to forge, as IP spoofing does not work if you have a firewall that does stateful packet inspection - they almost all do now). All we had to do if they did not stop was to get to their ISP and find out from their logs who was logged on and allocated that IP address at the time of the access and we have their home or work address. It was very effective, and the fraud attempts stopped immediately. So my suggestion is that you point out to users that they can be tracked right back to their home or work address if they do something they really should not, and this will go a long way to putting off the sorts of people you don't want.

We have done this with a view to offering a pilot LAMS service at some point in the not too distant future. (As part of the same project, we also integrated the assessment system AMS TOIA with Bodington. Again, with the view to trialling at some point.) We have also been involved with the LAMS practitioner trial and are involved with Greenwich Uni on the Elisa project (http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=elisa&src=alpha) which is looking at generating LAMS sequences targeting study skills for 16-18 year old. These sequences will help students with things like writing essays and applying to Universities. As part of this project we are getting experience of running a LAMS server and also will be examining how the sequences can be reused. I am only peripherally involved with the LAMS work but will try to help if you have any more questions. Adam Marshall -- Adam Marshall: OUCS, 13, Banbury Rd. Oxford OX2 6NN.

Indeed, given its open source nature, one perhaps feels a certain predisposition in favour of sharing content as openly as possible, Miles.

The LAMS learning design package has recently been released as Open Source; TOIA is a highly regarded assessment engine free to UK Education institutions; Personal Development Planning is becoming increasingly required for institutional assessments either using blogging, e-portfolios or other methods; institutions are increasingly looking to share data in a secure way with other collaborating institutions with Shibboleth technology being favoured. All these topics are addressed in the JISC e-learning framework, and all have been integrated using the Bodington VLE. All of these products are free, as is this seminar hosted by the Learning Technologies Group at Oxford University! This showcases use and integration of the most important tools through the use of the Bodington Open Source VLE system as an institutional-wide central authorisation and authentication store. The talks and demonstrations are aimed at decision makers and potential users of the system who may be considering adopting or switching to an open source VLE. Bodington developers will be in attendance for discussion and user-requirements gathering for future development. The final programme is currently under development but will include: # Personal Development Planning, ePortfolios, Skills profiling and logbooks # Blogs and RSS feeds for dynamic data provision # Learning design sequences LAMS Open Source Software # Sophisticated assessment using TOIA free software # Federated searching tools to produce reading lists # Granular authorisation through The Bodington Open Source VLE # The JISC E-learning Framework gluing things together # Shibboleth integration allowing cross-institutional collaboration # What's new in current and imminent releases of Bodington # Longterm directions of VLEs To book, please go to http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ltg/events/bodington/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Paul V Davis Deputy Head, Learning Technologies Group Project Manager, WebLearn (Oxford's version of Bodington see http://bodington.org) Oxford University Computing Services 13 Banbury Road, Oxford, OX2 6NN Tel: 01865 283414 ***************** List information: ***************** Remember - replies go by default to the entire list.
