[Xerte] xpert RSS feeds

Thu Mar 11 15:43:41 GMT 2010

I hadn't looked at the Syndication feature Ron so thanks for this. This will be good for staff creating XOTs to publish materials quickly to Xpert. Some of the materials my colleague wants to share are Producer RLOs living externally so this isn't an option in that case.

Cheers

Adam/Pat
I can't helping thinking that even if you're aware of this Adam or if I'm wrong this needs pointing out for those who don't so here goes...

The easiest way to share LO's from a toolkits installation with xpert or as part of more local collaboration is to use the functionality built-in to the toolkits installation! This is summarised in the part 2 guide available via http://techdis.ac.uk/getxerte

Any user has the option of ticking checkboxes to share for viewing and/or share for downloading as zip and scorm too and this is per LO so some you can share and some you can choose not to. The basic info needed and categories etc are quick to add for the user and can be customised via management.php.

So even if as Pat says not all xpert content is Xerte content it seems to me a no brainer to use the functionality withing toolkits to share the xerte LO's and submit a different feed for non-xerte LO's.

So Adam if this is what you're thinking then your syndicated feed is http://elearning.net.marjon.ac.uk/rlo/syndicate.php submit that to xpert and refer to the above guide as to how to share LO's and your done!

So was that what you were looking to do or have I missed something :(

Yes but I want my colleague to easily create and manage to the feed. I don't think editing the xml locally by hand (e.g. in notepad) and then uploading to a web server is ideal.

It would be good if we could add more metadata (e.g author etc) to the XOT RSS feed online?

It's a valid RSS feed, so it'll be fine, it's just you're displaying less metadata than a fatter RSS DCMI feed would.

I've had a crack at using XOT to create the feed. I'm hoping this is something a colleague can manage so if he can use XOT that's the best way.

Is this feed ok for Xpert? http://elearning.net.marjon.ac.uk/rlo/USER-FILES/42-aread-Rss/data.xml

If so I'll show my colleague how to create a full one.

Nah, there is an xpert forum though.

j/k

You can either - send me a nice RSS feed, or, if you are feeling swish, take the basic RSS feed and all dublin core extra metadata to it.

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/syndication/ this is a nice DCMI feed example

You can make a normal RSS feed using your toolkits install

You can give us as much or as little information as you'd like.

Hiho all

Have just had a chat with colleague about submitting some RLOs to the Xpert database. We notice it requires a feed. Have you got a suggested schema of information you need the feed to deliver?

Is there a Xpert list I should be sending this to?!

cheers

Adam
