These “bricks” can be assembled in several possible ways and can be used to compose the scenarios proposed in TECFA SEED working paper 11 for the Deliverable D2b. As these two documents are complementary, we believe that they should accompany each other. This document is only a first attempt to assemble in an inventory all those bricks and describe them and the reader should expect important changes and additions in future versions or replacement documents. &RQWHQWV RI WKLV 'RFXPHQW ,QWURGXFWLRQ BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB &06OLJKWZHLJKWWRROV BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB :KDW GR ZH FDOO D ³&06 EULFN´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±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or our first action-line (C3MS1 lightweight tools) we will provide here the inventory of possible “bricks” that exist in those C3MSystems. At the same time, we will give a short description and try to define the potential of each one in an educational scenario. 1 C3MS is a term invented by the authors and means Community, Content and Collaboration Management Systems 2 The main goal is to provide not only support for all the scenarios proposed in Tecfa SEED working paper 11 for deliverable 2b but also for many other scenarios that might be conceived (especially by teachers). &06 /,*+7:(,*+7 722/6 :KDW GR ZH FDOO D ³&06 EULFN´" C3MS systems are nurtured by a strongly competitive and innovative open source environment and can be adapted/combined/configured according to specific needs and to different scenarios of usage. These systems have a modular architecture based on different components. Most of the information and communication portals (especially the ones that we adopted for our school networks) already include in their default installation several kinds of such components that take care of specific tasks (e.g., a collaborative story/news/journaling system, a links manager, etc.) and are called “PRGXOHV”. Moreover, there are other available “modules” that can be easily added to the core system of such portals. An example of such a third-party module might be a “Weather block”, a Glossary, a Photo Gallery, etc. So, we can say that there are two kind of modules: “core” and “3rd party” ones. There exist documented APIs for programming this modules and we hope that over time, some modules specially made for educational purposes will “appear” and we may program our own. Many web-applications that existed beforehand as stand-alone applications (e.g. Forums and Wikis) are adapted (or being adapted) for integration into portals like PostNuke. But there exist several interesting Internet applications that can not be easily integrated, i.e., Virtual environments like MOO, but which we still list in this catalogue. In order to use a term for all these components and structure the presentation of the current document we will call all these modules and applications “&06 EULFNV”. A “C3MS brick” is a component that takes care of a specific task, can be easily separated from others, can be configured and administered, can be combined and orchestrated with others and all these through the main core portal environment (with the exception of a few). In our case, we are proposing the above “bricks” to build educational scenarios (mostly CSCL or cooperative ones). A catalogue with exemplary scenarios is provided in working paper 11 for D2b SEED deliverable. As most development communities for these open-source environments are rather large, there is a prolific production of new external “bricks”, we can have several new modules every new month! That’s why we would like to note down that the inventory that follows in the next chapter, is not complete and the official and support websites should be consulted for the latest ones. ,19(1725< 2) &06 %5,&E6 The list that follows is strongly inspired from the “postnuke” portal software that we have chosen to use for our initial local communities. Similar “bricks” exist for other portal software. We have to note though, that the “postnuke bricks” collection is probably the richest one and that is in addition to its user system the we have chosen it for our first field trials. We judge also important to inform that all this C3MS technology is in it’s infancy steps, so bugs should be expected (in particular with 3rd party modules and skins 3 which are called “themes”). Therefore, some technical expertise with MySQL/PHP will be needed to install and configure these portals For each C3MS brick we summarize a few characteristics and other useful information. Please note again that this is an on-going effort.
