  • I've added an Atom feed and set the wiki to allow (almost) unlimited export of the history as ATOM:


MuCoMaCo

  • MuCoMaCo is about Museum Collections Made Cool!
  • It's a Wookie widget displaying a map and a series of geolocations on it where museum collections are located. A couple of images are displayed from that collection to give the user an impression of what's out there. Being a widget its purpose it to be placed as part of another page, in a VLE LTI thingy for instance, to attract attention to what the collections have to offer.
  • No screencast but of course I'm happy to demo it on my machine (with an internet connection!).

Wookie BaLTI

  • Dan Hagon
  • Mark Johnson
  • Steve Lee
  • Scott Wilson
  • Wookie BaLTI (Applies to Basic LTI and Blackboard competitions)
  • Using the Basic LTI interfaces available in Moodle we have integrated a set of closely coupled W3C widgets served from the Apache Wookie (Incubating) widget server. We have demonstrated how this solution can deliver an enhanced collaborative course UX allowing deep interaction between learners and instructors. Our exmaple shows a shared exploration of a chemistry molecule. A major success of this developer collaboration was to take a recently devloped Google Wave gadget and the pre-existing non-collaborative tinyMCE code base and made both truly collobrative widgets usable on any WC3 widgets enviroment.
  • Screencast coming soon!

RESTful Zentity

Further invetigation and development would enable POST requests to be made to enabling Add/Edit/Del of repository data I've put together a demo to prove the concept.
