Collaboration with OKI Developers at MIT<\/h3>\n
\n

Cambridge, Aug 11-15, 2003 – <\/b>Alex Chapin, Gabe Schine and Adam Franco met with developers of the Open Knowledge Iniative (OKI<\/a>) at MIT for a week long residency.  During that time, OKI developers introduced us to their just released open architectural specifications <\/a>they designed to support the development of educational software.  In turn, we demonstrated Segue<\/a>, our collaborative learning system and mapped out Harmoni<\/a>, our suite of application services and web application framework\/architecture.<\/p>\n

This collaboration clarified for us OKI goals and objectives and provided us the details necessary to begin implementing the OKI Service Interface Definitions<\/a> for Segue version 2.0 planned for release Spring 2004.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

The latest version of OSIDs (Open Service Interface Definitions) were very similiar to how the Harmoni <\/a>application\/services framework\/architecture is built, the OSIDs perhaps being slightly more extensible.  We were very impressed with the digital repository OSID.  Adam has begun to implement these interfaces in PHP for Concerto<\/a> (MediaDB).  We will probably use the Assessment OSIDs for Measure (MOTS<\/a>), our assessment module. The OSIDs for hierarchy, logging and course management will also be useful to us.<\/p>\n

We introduced the OKI developers to our PHP classes for Database Connection<\/a> which they thought may complement their work on abstracting database connectivity, a thorny problem for which we have developed an extensible solution.<\/p>\n

We will continue to refine Harmoni over the fall.  In addition we will be fleshing out Polyphony, our intermodular framework for services common to all Harmoni-enabled web applications.  Polyphony is essentially another abstraction layer that Segue, Concerto, Measure and StudyDB will use to share methods for yet another level of interoperability.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Associated Colleges of the South Integrate Segue<\/h3>\n
\n

ACS Technology Center is one of three regional Centers working with the National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE<\/a>).  They will be releasing version 2.0 of their Course Delivery System<\/a> (CDS) in which they have integrated Segue.  The ACS developers did find the integration to be challenging and have provided us with important feedback that will help us improve Segue’s interoperability. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
