As follow-up to the Education BOF in Seattle, I have to forward the following because it makes excellent points I have seen confirmed in experience about Zope and Python in the academic setting. I hear a lot of questions about, "Why should I be using Zope and Python" in a university environment. The following response to a survey query frames Zope and Python as a better fit for universities than other more commonly encountered technologies. -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway http://www.seacoos.org office: 332 Chapman Hall phone: (919) 962-4323 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Zope3-Users] interview for my diploma thesis about Zope 3 in education Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2007 14:49:31 +0100 From: David Johnson <djo...@js...> To: led...@gm...

What topics would you > recommend? Why? I definitely think Zope 3 can be used to support education. We plan on developing a number of applications in this area. It seems at present that universities are focusing on J2EE and .NET, like most companies. We are also noticing an increasing ability of universities to do their own development. Traditionally many of the software applications that universities use have been purchased. We see an increasing desire to build and customize applications in house. We also find however that in universities the funding and resources required to manage a J2EE or a .NET project are not necessarily there. We believe Zope could fill this role because it is faster to develop in, and python is fairly easy to learn. We find that universities tend to have developers who are a bit less experienced, and this sometimes includes administrators who actually want to do their own development. J2EE and .NET is not easy to pick up for the novice. In this area Zope 3 is particularly challenging in comparison to Zope 2, however there are entry points in Zope 3 with a minimal amount of TTW development. In this sense I personally feel strongly that Zope 3 needs to have a greater emphasis on TTW development so that it can satisfy the needs of the intermediate developers. However I feel that Zope 3 is such a clean and well developed platform that more of these tools will show up. > > * How would you convince someone who is in charge to use Zope 3 in his > curriculum? It really depends upon the costs and benefits and the organizations goals. I always find it better to examine products that exist and that suit your needs. Zope was developed (as I understand and may be incorrect) by a professor in Computer Science in order to explain web development and instruction on application development. Read about the history of Zope. Personally, our company prefers not to hire people with Computer Science training. This is because we find that professors and university education in this area is more philosophical and a bit out- dated; students tend to come out with a mindset that says "what's the most proper way to complete a project?" rather than "How can I get this done?" J2EE and .NET are similar. In engineering there is the constant battle between form and function. J2EE and .NET are all about form. They are very elegant, and fit all the philosophical models of computer science, and in particular UML. This however is their weakness. When engineering the ultimate goal is to come up with a great solution to some problem. The solution starts as a thought and needs to be converted into a application. Programming languages that reduce the barriers between thought and application are preferred. PHP does this very well for example, however it suffers from scalability issues because it is all about function and not form (ditto Perl). In my experience when you use J2EE you spend a lot of time converting the problem in your head into a J2EE application. Because it does not directly parallel thought it is prone to error; when an application fails it is hard to get your head around it and fix it. As Stephan Richter once told me, Zope strikes a nice balance between the direct thought to coding present in PHP and the well thought out form of a J2EE application. I wrote an application to list automobiles online: it took 2 files/objects in Zope, and 36 in Java. Java can be so abstracted and modular that you spend more time trying to code than actually solving and implementing the problem and being productive. J2EE and .NET are also about marketing. It is important to note that none of the major providers: Oracle, Sun, or Microsoft use these technologies in their own core applications. Most of them still use C/C++. They will use J2EE or .NET for auxiliary applications such as the Oracle install, but it stops there. > > * How do you see Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE) > related to > Zope 3?

Hi Kurt, Sorry for the delayed response - I missed this email before. Here at Columbia's Center for New Media Teaching and Learning (ccnmtl.columbia.edu) we have been using plone successfully for a number of projects. Our success has been so pronounced, that Plone is now spreading to other Tech organizations within the University, such as the Journalism school, and Teachers College. We are not using plone as a Course Management System. Rather, we are using it as a platform on top of which to build custom applications for use in the classroom. http://jscms.jrn.columbia.edu http://www.ccnmtl.columbia.edu/projects/emcc/ Please contact me if you have any other quetions, /Jonah ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jonah Bossewitch Technology and Programmer Analyst ccnmtl.columbia.edu jonah at ccnmtl dot columbia dot edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KurtB wrote: > Hi, > > I sent this note out to another list, and realized that the Educational > list would probably be more appropriate. > > I'm putting some material together to promote Plone as a CMS for our > campus to the higher-ups here at the University.

Thanks for the interest in more information about the eaSOL (electronic access to the School of Law) story :) I was contracted to come up with an online education delivery platform for the University of the South Pacific's School of Law in November 2001. The brief was to put something together using only an open source software. Up until this point, the School had been publishing a limited range of supplementary materials in a couple of courses, using MS FrontPage and IIS. Some discussion forums were offered, but a lack of security resulted in too many inappropriate postings and they had to be taken offline. There was also a concern that the unprotected course materials may be poached by other institutions if not protected. Thus the initial requirements were fairly modest - a simple content management system which non-technical users would be comfortable with, discussion forums and an easy to administer user-level security system. After much web crawling and test drives, Zope + CMF 1.1 was chosen. The range of add-on products looked promising. This was pre-Epoz & Kupu, but StructuredText promised a simple way for people to publish content without learning HTML. Local roles seemed a good way to manage course-level access. The separation of content, presentation and business logic also seemed like a good idea. Despite having never seen Zope or Python before, we were able to get a prototype up and running within a week. By February 2002, we had Version One, offering online courses in 2 subjects using a fairly standard CMFDefault site, with the following couple of non-CMF products hacked into the site as well: * 'Squishdot' for discussion forums * 'Exam' for online tests Of course much of the success of the project from this point onwards was due to the strong committment of the Law School staff to learning the new system and using it to its full potential. Comprehensive lecture notes and readings were made available on the site, online tests were written for each week's content area, and the discussion forums were regularly patrolled by teaching staff. This level of committment made the eaSOL system into a dynamic learning environment which students were happy to use. Incremental improvements took place over the next 12 months as we climbed the undeniably steep Zope learning curve, and new products were released. For example: * the Squishdot product was replaced by a version of CMFForum, hacked to remove Plone dependencies; * when Epoz was released, it was integrated into the CMFDefault edit templates; * presentation templates were overhauled in 2003 to give the site a distinctive look and feel; * as CMFDefault developed, Page Templates came to replace DTML. Many site components had to be converted as a result; * in order to integrate PloneChat into the site, a number of Plone tools were added to the site and PloneChat was hacked to work with CMFDefault's main_template.pt; * some of the navigation elements, such as batch navigation were imported from Plone to improve usability; * the LTOnlineTest product began development in late 2003, in order to replace the non-CMF Exam product with a CMF-style product. This would remove any need for teaching staff to use the ZMI; * the LTAssignmentBox product was developed to make the submission of assignments by online students more efficient. At the same time, students who had used the system in some units were putting pressure on teaching staff to increase the number of courses available in the system. By February 2003, about 15 courses had been earmarked to use eaSOL. A new online-student mode of enrolment had been pushed through with its own fee structure to support the new remote mode of study. Prior to this system being offered, students from around the South Pacific had to move to Vanuatu to complete their studies in face-to-face mode. By Semester 1, 2004, all 40+ courses of the undergraduate LLB program were offered in online mode. By early 2004, it was apparent from the continued pace of improvement of Plone, and the eaSOL site's increasing reliance on Plone tools and code, that a migration to Plone was in order. The migration to Plone 2.0.4 was finally done in November 2004, involving over 250Mb of course content. The LTOnlineTest and LTAssignmentBox products were rewritten for Plone, and the hacked version of PloneChat was replaced with an unmodified PloneChat2. In order to cater for increased demand, the site now runs on a 4-box ZEO cluster. The School of Pacific Languages, and the Early Education department have recently begun using the eaSOL system for their own courses. Of course, the improvement process never ends. We are now considering replacing CMFForum with CMFBoard; adding PowerPoint-style presentations based on Andy Mackay's implementation of Eric Meyer's S5; more improvements for LTOnlineTest; a mail-in content product, similar to the Moblog feature of CoreBlog and more. I'd also really like to hear other people's stories. So send them in!! I've also put the text of this email on the Lawtec website: http://lawtec.net/case_studies/easol I will endeavour to update it as the project progresses :) Anton Hughes http://lawtec.net On 29/03/2005, at 9:36 PM, Paul Howell wrote: > I think we would ALL like to hear about this story.

Hi, I sent this note out to another list, and realized that the Educational list would probably be more appropriate. I'm putting some material together to promote Plone as a CMS for our campus to the higher-ups here at the University. I'm compiling a list of Colleges and Universities that sucessfully use Plone. I plan to present that list as proof that Plone is "a good thing" for my campus to get behind. If you know of any Higher Ed entities sucessfully using Plone, I'd really appreciate a note telling me who theey are. Any information about how they came to choose Plone would be helpful. I want to profile as many "case studies" as I can, and will gladly share these findings with the group. What other university/college sites use Plone? KurtB |

We are looking to implement teacher webpages for our 2005-2006 school year. The idea of using Plone to me seems perfect. Is anyone using Plone/Eduplone for this purpose? If anyone has any samples they would be willing to share, I would really appreciate it. Once we get our site up, I would be happy to return the favor.

A well written argument for the use of open source software in a university setting. In particular, it touches upon the importance of using tools which embody an institutions values and educational goals. Also contains a good listing and summary of open source educational projects (eduplone not listed :-() http://www.opensourcesummit.org/open-source-200408.pdf Interesting juxtaposition with an article in this week's Chronicle of Higher Education (this link will expire w/in a few days to non-subscribers) "Open Source Is the Answer. Now What Was the Question?," is available online at this address: http://chronicle.com/temp/email.php?id=idysiwm18achx41b0w4kjpwrumtwulpd And this also caught my attention: CMS and ePortfolio: At the Crossroads http://www.syllabus.com/news_article.asp?id=10041 cheers, Jonah |

Hello, I have a question related to how to obtain EU funding for projects implementign LMS technologies and/or funding for research projects doing the same. Basically here is the deal. We have a Studentportal that implements a *lot* of functionality that is needed for a Swedish university. It has a syllabus that is exported to the legacy, national system for Courses and Student administration, it has Course Homepages, the lot. We have been able to cut down the work in some areas with up to 80%, so it works. The problem is that it is basically built with Zope 2.4x. That is before the there where even PythonScripts in Zope and back when the CMF was an experimental Project called the PTK. We have it updated ton run off Zope 2.6x but the stuff from 2.4 is still there. So it is built with DTML, TTW and in an adhoc way. It also has some serious performce problems in some important areas. As far as I know, there are not other systems like it, commercial and opensoruce; this is not only because it is custom made to suit our University, but also because it combines a lot functioanlity and integration that just is not avaialble elsewhere. Also is has a no-nonsense balance between hyped "elearning, lms" needs and administrative needs. Basically it mves away a lot of the admin stuff to let educators concentrate on the learning siutation. It does not however have any notions of "learning objects" etc; it simplas provides some basic groupware functionality. Given the situation today, we have almost an non existent (and that is speaking with a positive mind) to obtain any funding that will help modernise this system and push the limit for what it can do. There is also infact little interest from the peopla that are in charge in supporting the system. We cannot take it down, because that would mean disaster, but neither are we allowed to continue developing and evolving it So I am looking for funding outside of my Universiry. Is there a possibility to find some EU funding that would help me further develop this system? It would be OpenSource of course, we have no intention of keeping it Closed Sorice at all (the more users, the better community, we get support from others... simple economics). Any pointer and information regardign this is appreciated. Sincerely, /dario |

Sounds Great. I was basically checking in to find out if this idea was dead in the water. The ZAnnt project doesn't look too active (I think it was last updated 2 years back), and while Amaya clients keep coming out, I didn't know how committed they were to the Annotea spec. At the same time, a the Annotea spec is a good jumping off point, even if its not widely adopted (yet). I think javascript and css have reached a level of sophistication where we could pull off a decent client implementation without a special browser. I would imagine that there might also be some server-side elements to the client -- such as a place where users could configure their annotation servers, and store their authentication information. This would be part of the client product, and could take advantage of Plone's infrastructure For example, this info could be in a users profile, but it might be nice to have some site wide configuration as well. We are very interested in seeing this project move forward. I just started working at a University and it seems that a great deal of tech work involves getting annotations working on various projects (image annotations, video annotations, etc). I am planning on attending the Plone conference too -- will there be a spring before/after? If not, we can still discuss this idea further there.
