This page contains WISE Technology team's development plans for Fall of 2008.

Major Efforts

Name Description Assignees (lead person in parenthesis) Notes
Support WISE 2.0 Runs Supporting runs in WISE 2.0, the "Classic WISE". This is the WISE that is being used the most (by teachers and by UCWISE) (Doug&Hiroki) We will support WISE 2.0 runs through the entirety of Fall 2008 and beyond, until further notice. No new functionality will be added to WISE 2.0
Support WISE 3.0 Runs Supporting runs in WISE 3.0. all Researchers whose runs will be in WISE3.0: Kevin, Helen
OTrunkification Switching the backend data-storing mechanism from PODS/Rims/Socks to OTrunk. Will force all future projects to use this format. This effort is needed to continue working on the authoring tool (Scott,Tony),Geoff The technology team agreed to move to OTrunk in November 2007 retreat. This effort is important and tricky; it requires collaboration with the Concord folks (Scott Cytacki in particular), because they created OTrunk
Authoring Tool A tool that allows users to author/preview/save SAIL projects (Tony,Geoff),Matt During the Spring, we should be able to release the first version of the authoring tool and have people test it out and provide feedback. A lot of work will go into improving the authoring tool during the summer.
WISE 3.0 Portal development Register teacher/student/researcher/administrator, add/preview projects, set up classroom runs, view & grade student work, etc. Will also launch the authoring tool (Hiroki),Tony,Geoff,Matt,Patrick,Sally We hope to add more functionality to the portal, especially in the teacher management tool, researcher tool, and administrator tool. We'll also need to prepare the portal for the beginning of Fall 2008, when the portal will be used more (specifics needed).
VLE Making improvements to the Virtual Learning Environment (Tony, Geoff),Matt Text-To-Speech improvements: improve voice, add pause functionality
Step types Add/Improve supported step types Hiroki, Tony, Geoff New step types to add this semester: discussion,brainstorm,polling
First POTrunk Run Do a POTrunk run, complete with gradingtool and portal integration. Completely in WISE3, no more confluence (Hiroki=oversight&portal),Tony=authoringtool&vle,Geoff=Conversion&vle,Doug=assistance Make sure we have a backup, PODProject version. Possible first candidate: Helen's Hydrid Cell Cars, Oct. 13

Work that might or might not happen this semester

Name Description Assignees (lead person in parenthesis) Notes
Monitoring Service Using Java Messaging Service (JMS) to send messages between a monitoring tool and VLE instances running on students' computers Tony, Geoff, Turadg We did not anticipate working on the Monitoring Service; it happened all of a sudden during the 2008 TELS retreat. No significant work is expected to be put in on this project
Proxy Server Intended to mitigate problems with long download times (Geoff),Scott Not yet certain when/if this project will be worked on this semester
