Authoring Issues II

•This architecture is already a little problematical in many systems

–E.g. if I import PowerPoint into XYZ LMS and it integrates as a lecture; adds decorations/metadata – can I edit PowerPoint and preserve “decorations/metadata”?

–Can I change number of pages in Presentation?

•Several Content Models

–1) Faculty writes a set of Web Pages

–2) Faculty uses an initial template to start Web Pages

–3,4) Some sort of Template specifies page layout of metadata, decorations and content. Content is authored elsewhere. LMS stores all this in database or flat (XML) files

•3) Actual Content generated by batch process

•4) Actual Content generated by dynamic process
