Agenda for May 10, 2007 Working meeting of the DITA learning and training content specialization SC

See the main SC wiki page - http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/LearningSubcommittee

1. Roll call
2. Review status of the working topic designs and learning plugin
   • Usage tips:

   • Download and install the DITA OT 1.3.1 full package bin - http://sourceforge.net/projects/dita-ot.

   • Download the learning plugin and unzip it to the DITA OT demo directory - http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita-learningspec/download.php/23855/learningsc_plugin.zip.

   • Anyone tried creating sample content yet with the learning topic types?
   • What have you noticed?
   • I will update with XSD modules
   • We need sample content!
3. Team leads: Please review and update the wiki design pages with brief descriptions of each outline design element.
   • I've updated the element names to match those used in the learning plugin working design.
   • To make it official, I'll assign action items to the team leads. (We need to have some action items in our queue.)
4. Naming conventions for learning content elements
   • To avoid naming collisions with other DITA elements, including future or private specializations, we might want to consider using a standard prefix for all of our element names.
   • If so, we need something short and sweet.
   • For example, how about ltc, for "learning training content" ?
   • Our element names would end up like
     • ltcObjectives
     • ltcIntro
     • ltcDuration
     • ltcResources
5. What's next?
   • Resolve status of the Instructional Design topic type.
   • Resolve status of the assessment interactions.
     • Choices are QTI lite and a native DITA interactions domain.
   • Identify metadata we need to support and how.
     • IEEE LOM is the obvious starting (and probably ending) point.

     • An intro on IEEE LOM here - http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-think21.html

     • And the full details here - http://ltsc.ieee.org/wg12/files/IEEE_1484_12_03_d8_submitted.pdf

   • Get started on a learning map design.

     • See this start - DITA Map Domain for learning design notes.

   • Start identifying processing.
6. Check against design plan targets
   • May, 2007: Review and finalize designs and DTD modules, develop XML Schema modules, use DITA OT to build HTML and PDF outputs, and complete first draft of specification for topic types. Report results to SC at June 7, 2007 meeting.
   • May, 2007: Develop DTD and XML Schema specialization modules for the learning map type; develop one or more sample maps, and use DITA OT to build to HTML with sample topics developed in Phase 2. Report back to the SC at the June 7, 2007 meeting.
7. Close and adjourn.
