Useful meeting this afternoon with Simon Hatton from our Computing Services Department, who will be working on the development on the (soon-to-be-renamed?) iLIKE widget for the Liverpool engineering student’s portal.
We took part in the Mimas JLeRN Final Workshop in Manchester yesterday, which was a stimulating and thought-provoking meeting.
Just a couple of highlights relevant to the ENGrich project:

We have just published a prototype iLIKE widget, which we hope might be incorporated into the student portal here at Liverpool for all Engineering students to have an access.
The widget would allow students to view relevant resources by module (of study). From the data gathered by our summer students, we have submitted paradata documents to JLeRN LR node identifying that resources (URLs) relate to a particular module of study.
The proposed iLIKE widget does the following:
Today we have revisited the display of Flash movies as thumbnails. Earlier on in the year, we managed to get a first version of these working. This was done by embedding the flash code directly in the thumbnail gallery HTML. Whilst the visual display of these thumbnails was satisfactory, there were two significant problems:
To resolve these problems, our latest solution has been to develop a ‘wrapper’ Flash movie which will load, re-size and mute the target flash movies from their remote sites. The wrapper also overlays a button that will prevent interaction with the movie and allow the thumbnail to behave in the same manner as the other media types, e.g. open the resource in a new browser tab/window, or open a resource detail page on the ENGrich site.

As a project, we believe that the ability for users to view Flash movies as live thumbnails rather than the textual links currently provided by Google can significantly improve search efficiency, since judgements upon the likely relevance of a resource can be made very quickly. We recognize the fact that displaying 10 or a dozen flash movies simultaneously might add a significant load to the CPU. In future, it might be possible to further develop the wrapper in order to minimize the CPU load, but for the purposes of the ENGrich project we are confident that the current Flash thumbnails are fit for purpose.
In designing the user interface for the student portal here at Liverpool, we are trying to avoid the use of any local/project database, instead trying to gather all necessary data from other sources, in particular our Learning Registry (LR) node.
One example is a widget that will allow students to view relevant resources by module (of study). From the data gathered by our summer students, we have submitted paradata documents to our LR node identifying that resources (URLs) relate to a particular module of study. For example:
http://www.rolls-royce.com/interactive_games/journey02/rr_jtae.swf is relevant to Module AERO214, ‘Aeroengines 1′.
Our challenge is to be able to present the student user with a drop-down list (or auto-completing text-field) of available modules using data retrieved from the LR (not the project or University database).
Our solution has been to use the extract data service to return ALL paradata documents containing activity->related->object->description. The resulting JSON file is converted into an array in PHP and then the array_unique function applied to remove duplicates (good tip on how to do this at Stack Overflow). We now have our Array of unique modules.
To speed things up a bit, we’ve decided that as this listing is not partcularly ‘volatile’, it’s worth caching the values locally on the server, and only re-generating when a specified cache life has been exceeded.
