From Minnowbrook -- the Virtual University After Dinner Talk to Dedicated AFOSR Research Team -- April 15 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 So as we have stored all our material in a database, managing it is equivalent to building an administrative support system for the database
  • Administrative system is built in usual way as "business logic Javabean middleware" running on a server and accessed from some web client
2 Web export from database should support Educom's IMS standard for metadata to allow convenient webwide searches of repositories
3 One needs special modules that accommodate
  • PAPI or Personal and Performance Information
  • Submission of homework of diverse nature
  • Laboratories including both programming and science labs
  • Producing composite lectures from collections of base educational objects (re-use)
  • More research needed on assessment tools
