Discussion topics and conclusions
We had a technology exchange regarding the LMS platform by Wakoma, and agreed on the following steps ahead:
- Josef creates the notes (this page)- Eric to comment directly
- Clarify the way ahead, on how to bring the "yeboo.com", the Wakoma portal and other developments under one header. Suggestion is to create a UNICEF Innovation project, where the structure of the portal are open source modules, and where the content can be contributed depending on the needs in the local community.
- Based on the outcome of 2, we then define the way ahead, being (i) a doc summarising what we want to achieve and (ii) an open invitation to A4AI, APC, ISOC and others to join for the OpenSource development
Next meeting is agreed for 21Oct2020 at 11:00h Oslo time
Technology topics addressed
Goals of the platform:
- be able to work in resources-constraint environments, both with respect to bandwidth costs and capabilities of the server
- based on OpenSource modules to ensure applicability by every community
- scalable, to be deployed in small communities on e.g. a RaspberryPi, in areas and on a country level
- enables easy "drag and drop" course creation
- enables off-line capability, e.g. allowing students to take the content home
- user management
- supporting a freemium model for content, with e.g. free courses and premium certificates through exams
- monitoring and usage reporting (of statistical data), to allow a feedback to donors of content
- applicability in other community networks
The Learning Management System (LMS) introduced by Eric for Wakoma satisfies most of these requirements, and is built solely on OpenSource components. Examples are:
- docker containers for each module, allowing the free mixing of functionality needed in a specific community
- Wordpress for easy creation of content (e.g. through plugin Elementor), and front-end mangement
- Nextcloud for file hosting and easy sharing
- integrated SSO feature bringing all components under one login
- app support using e.g. Nextcloud app
Current focus is on the intelligent sync, the analysis of novel protocols like the SIM(?) protocol by Qx(?), and analytics packages
