CETIS meeting

We had a full day at CETIS yesterday with Oleg Liber, Dai Griffiths, Phil Beauvoir, Roy Cherian and Edwin Veenendaal (RayCom), talking about LD4P, DesignShare, TenCompetence and various linkages. We showed the initial user interface designs for Reload, and had some very useful discussions.

SLeD admin

Simon Hutchinson (UK OU) has enhanced the admin section in SLeD as part of the JISC D4LD project. A particularly good feature is the management of groups, which has been a major problem for us previously. Simon has added a clone feature that creates a new instance of a role (provide create-new has been allowed in the design), which is how groups can be created. Previously, we had to create a new run for each group. In the screen shot below role [13] has been cloned to produce a new role [15], which can have a different set of users assigned to it.

The management of sub roles has also been added (chairperson in the screenshot below) which previously had to be set up through the Clicc command line interface.

This is a really useful enhancement to the admin section.
