Software Description
The project will develop a single sign-on environment between the Bodington
open source VLE, the Learning Activity Management System (LAMS) and the
Assessment software developed by the JISC TOIA project. This will allow
user to work with the three software systems without needing to sign in and
is an important first step towards working with disparate software systems
as an integrated solution.
The project will also develop web services that allow the three software
systems to provide and consume each other’s services. In this way LAMS
authors will be able to embed Assessments within their activity sequences
for instance.
Aims and Objectives
The main goal of the project is built appropriate integration between the
LAMS, TOIA and Bodington software systems. The WebAuth single sign-on
system will be used to provide Authentication and Authorisation services
and web services will be developed using the WSDL interoperability
specification.
Alongside the technical work Oxford’s medical faculty will coordinate the
development of resources for learning statistics. LAMS sequences and TOIA
assessments will be embedded within the Bodington VLE. The authors of these
resources will be able to inform the technical strand of the project while
developing the material.
