ELMS

btopro - March 5, 2008 - 06:37

Here's some of the modules that are currently out there that will be packaged into the ELMS installation profile:
Outline Designer - Allows you to drag-and-drop / right-click your way to creating book structures (originally called ELMS / Course Designer)
HTML Export - Allows you to export Drupal sites to a portable HTML format.
Search and Replace - Search your Drupal content and make massive replaces quickly (life saver at times)

ELMS stands for E-Learning Management System. It was developed by instructional designers, for instructional designers but has implications for ALL drupal users. It is an installation profile of the framework currently being worked on to power course development and management at the e-Learning Institute. The above modules are all developed by the e-Learning Institute and are released under the ELMS brand because they have ultimately been built to power our system. ELMS has important implications for the outline designer in-particular because as it is being developed there has been a strong sense that integration between outline designer (OD) and organic groups (OG) is necessary. As such, rewrites are currently underway to automatically add content to a specific group (or sub-group to another group) when the material is structured visually through OD. This is currently in the development phase and ELMS has been pushed back in release date because of internal plans to rethink our own assignment submission workflow so more planning can go into using this framework in our own department / college. This is a very ambitious module and a pet project of mine so look for information and theory updates on the e-Learning Institute's Project site.
