LearningBay authoring
By Mike Arroyo, Vice President for Learning
LearningBay has an optional
authoring module that allows you to add new content or modify the
content that comes with it freely and easily. The authoring module
provides many functions. Chief among them are the following:
• Drag-and-drop content into a repository.
• Reorganize course contents.
• Assign screen names to pages without renaming files.
• Create lists of exam questions.
• Generate online exams.
• Provide remedial content from missed exam questions.
Drag-and-drop!
With the authoring module, you can create content using any software
tool you like and simply drop it into LearningBay. LearningBay
allows authors of all skill levels to create content pages. Novice
authors may use applications like Microsoft® Word, PaintBrush
or Excel to quickly create text and graphics.
 |
| Assign quiz questions to pages. |
When a course is complete, drag and
drop the contents into the LearningBay Repository. Our compliancy
with WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) and
OPML (Outline Protocol Markup Language) transforms your folders
and page names into a dynamic navigation for the online class.
Screen names
With the authoring module, pages and folders may be reordered, renamed
or hidden from the student without altering the original filenames.
Screen names may be assigned to pages, providing clarity to the
student participating in the online class.
Create exams
Assign as many questions as you like to each page of the course.
When taking an exam, if the student chooses some incorrect answers,
LearningBay tags the appropriate pages and generates a remedial
course based on the missed questions.
The authoring module also includes an export function to extract
the course contents from the repository. All pages and assets (such
as images, video and audio) are placed on a local computer using
the same folder layout as the original course. An XML file is also
created to allow the course to be imported to a different LearningBay
server. This means your courses are never locked inside a proprietary
database.

| The end result, such as this one for
Efficient Engineering, is a set of pages containing custom content,
including their personal text and graphics. |
