Agenda Team Meeting 31 July 07

  • bug report from each developer, what are you working on currently, next challenge...
    • header image progress
    • fonts

Discussion

  • multi media (flash) iDevices remain in code but are hidden so that should anyone who has an created content using these idevices in a previously created elp wants to use these idevice and is sufficiently expert enough, they can access the code. All users should be encouraged to new media button in rich text editor.
  • math (LaTeX) facility now available in similar form to existing math idevice. This will suffice for 1.0 but will look to add GUI in post 1.0.
  • Java script and SCORM issues Jenny to investigate.
  • Multi select idevice - issues with scoring, team decided to remove scoring for the time being and only provide correct/incorrect feedback. For future development could look at provide users with a list of scoring techniques:
    1. Normal
    2. negative allowed
    3. All or None
  • Decided more important to focus current development resource on unicode problems which have more recently started to be reported by users.
  • Header image issue in properties tab - Jenny thinks that maybe this is a resource handling issue and will investigate further.
  • Some discussion on IEEE LOM and how we currently handle this for IMS Content and SCORM packaging.
  • Dutch IEEE LOM work post 1.0 release. Sandy will contact Jeroen this week to follow up on exactly what they require from us for this work to go ahead. see http://www.exelearning.org/IMS_LRM/Correspondence?highlight=%28correspondence%29
  • Will not be distributing road map with 1.0 release
  • Ongoing work on Sustainability Report

  • GETS ref. no. 18613 for additional information relating to the Supply of benchmarking services and supporting IT systems for Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics for the Tertiary Education Commission (A281548)
  • how we want to do the upgrade paths for the following idevices:FlashWithText (swfs), FlashMovie? (flvs) and MP3 iDevice (mp, ummmm, 3s or something)
  • what bugs were solved last week and require testing
  • Auckland contracts
