Okay, I guess we *urgently* need to meet on IRC, or this discussion goes totally out of hand. Furthermore, let's sit down and talk about what an SS engine would need to do in the following scenarios:
  • Limited to creating Sequences between Learning Objects
  • Opened up to create sequences within other packages.
Especially in the latter case, we need to think of:
  • What is the data modell.
  • What are the API functions that are needed (I can surely can come up with a couple from assessment, but I assume Ernie has some ideas on this as well).
  • What is the user interface and how does this user interface integrate with the existing packages. Some options:
    • The existing package (e.g. assessment) only uses the API and datamodell
    • The existing package includes some ADP library code from the SS package.
    • There is no UI for the existing package (assessment). The sequences will only be handled by the SS package.
  • Last but not least. What is to gain from opening up SS package to be used in other packages and to what degree of integration is the ROI (both money as well as user experience) positive.
