Timeline
* create courses on p2pu (just the links)
* add the actual links (p2pu-uci)
* add some content sumarry + links of what they will do each week
* setting
* passign auth token {username} to uci so they know which user is visiting them
*

are you going to put on the Algebra ocw course a link to the p2pu algebra course or to a page with all the other uci courses on p2pu?
ok then the urls from uci are going to be the url of the courses you are going to create on p2pu

- [Larry] Add them to School of Ed (ask Karen to make co-organizer of School of Ed, or Philipp/Karen can add for you)
- Landing page
- [P2PU] Need a page somewhere that explains how all of this work

Early Sep
Mid Sep
- [Larry/ P2PU] Implement userid hand-over
- [Larry] Implement Quizz functionality
29 Sep
Features
User ID hand over
- Zuzel: Their site is not login users so the users are anonymous when answer quizzes on their site.
- Larry: The CSET courses are written in PHP/MySQL and are linked to by the OCW site. I am the developer of the software application that manages the CSET site. We can create a copy of the course inside of Moodle, just for P2PUers, and capture the login information. The quizzes are being converted right now to HTML/CSS/Javascript for this and one other project, so we can create an AJAX POST to the P2PU system (if we decide to host the content at UCI).
- Zuzel: Ideas:
Linking UCI <> P2PU
- Banners for sidebar:
- Wording
- On UCI: "Want to take this course with others? Join the next round on X Sep at P2PU")
- On P2PU: "Are you an in-service teacher and interested in CPU (CEU?) credits for this course? Click here to register at University University Extension @ the University of California, Irvine" to differentiate it from main campus.
- Design
- End-point URL's that the banner's point to
Background:
P2PU and UCI are launching a pilot that would let participants in some of our courses, register with UCI and upon an additional assessment, receive some form of certification. It will be for a few courses that are already published as open courseware on the UCI side, and the school-of-ed courses that Karen has been leading on. At least in the first instance these are all facilitated courses which have clear start-dates. This is what an example course would look like on the UCI side -> http://ocw.uci.edu/courses/course.aspx?id=25
Resources:
- There are resources for anything related to the "quizzes/tests" that Larry mentions. That's on their side and managed by UCI.
- We have to build integration - flow from our site to theirs, or the other way.
- Might be able to pull in some of Jamie's time (depends on a few other things)
- If we need more short-term developer time, let's make a quick call on this
Questions:
- Can we add UCI's google analytics code into the respective courses on P2PU (not the whole P2PU site) so Larry can track?
- What is the best way to link the two platforms - and what is needed to make it happen? Larry and I have been talking about some form of "widget" that would sit on the UCI site and link visitors to the P2PU course (and a similar mechanism that takes P2PU users to UCI for certification). It could pull dynamic content from P2PU ("next course starts in X days") or maybe even facilitate the sign-up directly into a particular course. Alternatively we could design nice banner ads / artwork.
Details:
There are two sets of courses
- 5 UCI-created teacher qualification exam preparation courses (CSET)
- Start with 3 Maths courses
- 7 School of Ed courses.
- For the latter, we really only care about tracking the numbers of students who opt for UCI Continuing Education Units, which can typically, but not always, be used for salary advancement for US-based teachers. So no custom coding needs to be done, (other than dashboard development) because we can count those who apply on our end and we would just like to know the student count on the P2PU end.
2. The CSET courses, <= 5 separate courses, are currently displayed through an open source content management application written in PHP/MySQL. The courses have numerous quizzes, which we want to retain for our use in providing CEUs.
2a. Where should the content live? If the P2PU courses use <iframes> or some other device, we may not have to do any other modification. If the content has to be converted to static HTML, we have to make those modifications now and then deliver the courses to P2PU in that condition. We may need an easy way to bulk upload the hundreds of screens into a P2PU course.
- Philipp: Being able to attache a quiz to a task (and track completion of quizzes) would be a nice feature to have.
- Jessica: We do something similar at work. At the end of training, the person clicks a "certify" button that basically just goes to a webpage. Could be that? The page that they are routed to gets the courseid from where they're coming from and then the person has the option of using his/her login/password or inputting information (since not everyone doing training has an account on the system).
- Jessica: Could be as simple as putting in a database that someone moves manually for now?
- Philipp: Is there a generic php script (and data structure) that generates all the quizzes? or is each quizz generated by a separate custom php script?
2b. If the content lives at P2PU, can we still get the analytics on these courses to show our funders (Hewlett/Boeing) the results. We are as interested in browsers as enrolled students.
2c. If the content lives at P2PU, we will still need a script written that tracks the results of the quizzes and be able to view these as part of the dashboards.
3. Dashboard development. For all courses, we need to confer and ensure that the dashboard view of student progress works for us. From the UCI point-of-view, our CEUs will be based on a P2PU dashboard+ model, eg. we'll add our own evaluation to the P2PU experience, so that when someone gets their CEUs, we will have independently confirmed learning that occurred on the P2PU side.
4. Marketing. As Philipp says, we're interested both in bringing people to P2PU and getting them back once they complete the course. So the mechanics of this have to be figured out. I would hope to be ready on our side by Sep. 1 to publicize all of the School of Ed courses on our website.
