- the content system can also provide content labeling and categorization. It can also be used to control who can use content and for what duration.
- the content system can provide a common structure for content storage rather than supporting multiple departmental and other inconsistent "local" storage systems.
- the content system can integrate with learning and portal systems.
- the content system can provide a common infrastructure for all courses, organizations, users, groups, etc., yet allow local customization of directory structures, sharing, naming conventions, with a good balance between overarching consistency and personal control.
- the content system can be used for reporting to track the who, when, and where of content storage in order to plan for growth and identify excessive use.
- the content system can control use and necessary expansion of a storage system through robust quota management. It can be used to control network use and for necessary expansion through robust bandwidth management.
- the content system can securely transfer sensitive data. It can be used for efficient file storage, and for scalable content management.
- the content system can provide context for appropriate fair use practices, by controlling who has access to what content during a specific time period.
- the content system can also be used to assist institutions in complying with the TEACH Act by providing a framework for making materials available only to users who are enrolled in a course and only for the duration of the course.
- the content system can also be used to control access to materials copyrighted by the institution and its faculty and staff.
- the content system can be used to provide a common repository of standard institutional images, logos, document templates, etc. for consistent use of the institutional identity.
- the content system can also be used to control who has access to standard institutional images, logos, etc.
- the content system can be used to update master copies of images, logos, etc. rather than tracking down copies of the original that may be scattered throughout the institution.
- the content system is integrated in an educational system that is readily adaptable to accommodate multiple languages.
- Such multi-language capability is advantageous for organizations having diverse user populations.
- An example of an education system with multi-language capability is described in U.S. patent application serial no. 10/443,149 entitled “Internet-Based Education Support System And Method With Multi-Language Capability,” which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- the content system allows sharing, searching for and reusing content assets.
- Content can, e.g., be shared across courses, departments, users, and organizations.
- a course instructor teaching multiple sections of a course would have to manage the course content for each section separately, which is time consuming and can create versioning problems with duplicated files.
- the instructor can efficiently manage the course content (e.g., make content changes, additions or deletions) at one source location (e.g., at a content repository) and link the content to separate course files for each of the sections.
- source location e.g., at a content repository
- FIGURE 3 is an exemplary screenshot illustrating how content can be added to a course (i.e., a set of materials accessible to students enrolled in a given course).
- the content system can also allow content to be searched, e.g., by metadata and /or full text searching as illustiated in the exemplary screenshot of FIGURE 4.
- the content system can manage file versioning, monitor checkin/checkout, and be used as a workflow tool.
- Workflow refers to the process by which content items are transferred from one user to others for their actions.
- FIGURE 5 is an exemplary screenshot of a workflow page for transferring content.
- FIGURE 6 is an exemplary screenshot of a page for managing workflow activities.
- a content system in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention can include (1) a virtual hard drive system, (2) a portfolio system, (3) a library content integration system, (4) an object catalog, and (5) a link checker.
- the content system can also include a virtual hard drive system, which serves as a content repository for storing content, managing access control to the content, and providing scalable and robust features for effectively managing content in an easy-to-use fashion.
- the virtual hard drive system is an Internet based secure file storage space for users. Users can access, browse, and share files via a Web user interface and /or WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning). WebDAV is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol that allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote Web servers. WebDAV can be an alternative to the Web user interface for managing files, including drag and drop functionality.
- the virtual hard drive system can organize content into collections (such as individual collections, course collections, organization collections, and institutional collections).
- the collections act as distinct repositories of content that can be organized by creating folders.
- Access to collections or content can b controlled by permissions.
- Permissions can include read, write, delete, and manage, and can be set by individual users or user lists, which are collections o users.
- FIGURE 7 is an exemplary screenshot illustrating permission management.
- FIGURE 8 is an exemplary screenshot of a directory listing in the content system for a user.
- Content can be in public or private files.
- the user can expan folders to display subfolders and lists. Users can store files, organize files (usi ⁇ folders), and share files from their "My Content" area.
- FIGURE 9 is an exemplary screenshot illustrating how a content item can be added to My Content.
- FIGURE 10 is a screenshot illustrating how properties can be set for added content.
- different storage quotas and bandwidth control can be provided for different groups of users. For instance, students can be provided 20 MB of storage space and facult can be provided 40 MB of storage space. Disk quotas and bandwidth controls can also be based on individual directories, e.g., a course directory.
- the virtual hard drive system can enforce disk quotas and bandwidth controls set by administrators.
- the virtual hard drive system preferably allows versioning of stored content, which enables multiple versions of a single document or file to be stored and a history of changes viewed.
- FIGURE 11 is an exemplary screenshot illustrating management of versions of a document or file. Files in the content system can preferably be tracked to monitor which user took what action (e.g., read, copied) with respect to the file.
- FIGURE 12 is an exemplary screenshot illustrating tracking.
- the content system can include a portfolio system, which allows users such as students and faculty to create online portfolios.
- a portfolio is a compilation of materials a user can make available to others via a Web page, typically for specific purposes such as, e.g., a job search.
- the user can give a particular portfolio a specific name (e.g., "My Resume” or "My Stuff").
- Portfolios can include personal portfolios (used, e.g., in a job search or graduate school application), course portfolios (e.g., a compilation of work submitted by a student to an instructor at the end of a term), portfolios of student work submitted by instructors to administration, and collaborative and other portfolios.
- the system allows users to create multiple portfolios based on intended audiences. For example, a student can create one portfolio for potential employers and another portfolio for use in graduate school applications. Student portfolios can include, e.g., material describing courses taken, projects, and work experiences.
- FIGURE 13 is an example screenshot of a student portfolio. Faculty portfolios can include, published papers and descriptions of research.
- FIGURE 14 is an example screenshot of an portfolio of a faculty member. The portfolios can be shared with users both inside and outside of the institution. Access to the portfolios can be restricted, e.g., for a specific number of views or for a specific length of time.
- the portfolios can be created without the need for knowledge of HTML use using a "Wizard" style creation and selection of portfolio content. Users are provided with templated layouts that can be easily filled with desired content.
- the content system can include the ability to integrate library content or resources into courses. This allows librarians to manage library related content in course files. For example, a librarian can place content into folders of a particular course, e.g., copyright cleared materials that are on reserve for students enrolled in that course.
- FIGURE 15 is an exemplary screenshot illustrating addition of content items on reserve. Preferably, the librarian cannot make changes to other areas of the course content.
- the content added to folders can be tagged with standard metadata, e.g., Dublin Core and IMS.
- the learning system and the portal system can implement a role-based system that is attached to each user.
- the content system preferably honors these roles and display interface elements in the correct context based on the roles.
- the learning system and portal system roles can be mapped into a user list infrastructure within the content system. These can include course roles, portal roles, and system roles.
- the learning system course groups can be mapped into "group" infrastructure within the content system.
- an instructor logs into the learning system, and clicks through to his or her course control panel. He or she then creates a course content item that is linked to the course content selection within the content system. She or he then browses to the course content collection. The content system has already mapped the instructor role of this course to the proper permissions structure for the course content collection, thereby granting access to the instructor to read, modify, or remove any files within the course content area.
- Users of the content system can protect their documents from others gaining access. Users can give others selective access to files or folders in the "My Content" area. Each file and folder can have, e.g., Read, Modify, and Delete permissions. Users can have the ability to share each folder and file with other users or user lists. For example, consider a user who wants to share a particular file with a peer. The user can locate the files by browsing to the file in his or her collection view, click on a button to display the permissions, and then add the user that he or she wants to give access to. For each user (or user list), the owner can set the Read/Modify/Delete permissions. Also, e.g., a student might want to protect a few of his or her personal files. The student can locate the files, click to view the permissions, then remove all users and user lists that have access to the file. Alternatively, the student simply removes permissions for all users and user lists.
- Read, Modify, and Delete permissions Users can have the ability to share each folder
- the content system can support inheritable permissions within a folder tree. More specifically, permissions that are setup on a folder can be recursively applied to all children of the parent folder.
- the content system can allow access and linking to discrete versions of files, e.g., the latest version of a file can be specified or some given earlier versions, if so desired.
- the content system can allow all content within a collection to be web- accessible with a single URL, so that users can cut and paste URL links to share documents and reference materials that are stored within the collections.
- the content system preferably "tags" each piece of content with metadata in order to effectively track and identify content within the system.
- the content system preferably implements industry-standard metadata schemes such as, e.g., those put forth by the IMS.
- the content system accordingly can support quotas for each individual stored collection, so that users cannot store extraordinary amount of data (e.g., a student's entire mp3 archive) and share it out to the campus. Quotas can preferably be enforced from both the Web interface as well as the WebDAV interface.
- the content system administrator is preferably able to universally set quotas for all collections in the system. The administrator can preferably identify a single collection and manually set the quota to any value. If desired, quotas can be applied to folders, not users.
- the content system can have a mechanism to allow a system administrator to view the amount of content that is stored within the content system, and obtain more detailed views of content usage, especially as it pertains to quotas.
- Quota reports generated by the system can show system- wide quota allotment versus used space.
- the quota reports can allow the administrator to search for particular collections and deliver a summary of quota and disk usage for the collections selected.
- the content system can support a pass-based system that safely allows non-network members to access content.
- the passes that are generated can be sent to the destination user as a URL, and provide either time-based or number of use- based access to the designated content item.
- Content system users collaborating on a project can have the ability to work together on the same file instead of sending multiple copies back and forth to determine which changes were made to which version.
- the content system can support basic file versioning with a history feature to view revision details.
- the content system can preferably support an unlimited number of revisions per content item.
- the revisions can include a "comments" meta-data attribute that can contain user specified comments about the particular revision.
- the content system can allow users to have the ability to "check out” a file to be worked on, effectively giving them the exclusive ability to modify that particular file. This keeps others from being able to modify the file.
- the content system can support "check-in” and “checkout” of content. Upon check-out, the content item effectively becomes “readonly” for any other user other than the one that has the item checked out. Upon check-in, the content can automatically be committed as a new revision. Upon check-in, the user can have an opportunity to fill in the "comments” field.
- the content system can provide a facility for "undo-checkout,” which checks the content item back in but does not execute a new revision.
- the content system can allow each user an area to view the status of any tasks he or she needs to complete or participate in for improved implementation of workflow.
- the content system can provide a robust "My Activities” tool, where the user can go to view all the workflow-related tasks he or she needs to complete.
- the "My Activities” area can be an aggregate view of all workflow- related tasks that the user has waiting for him or her.
- the "My Activities” area can be available as a Portal Module at the Portal level for quick access and referral by the user.
- the content system can allow users (instructors and students) to participate in a two-step workflow, that involves Party A sending an item to Party B for review. Upon review, Party B can "return" the item to Party A.
- the content system allows for a two-way exchange to occur, where the status of the task is tracked, and both initiator and reviewer can view the status of the workflow at any time.
- the content system can provide a way to access workflow data from within the course, preferably at the course content item.
- the content system can allow users to expose designated "subsections" or individual content items in a portfolio context. Building off of the permissions and pass-based control infrastructure, the content system can provide a mechanism (Web-based and e-mail) that simplifies the task of "assembling" and "publishing" the individual's portfolio.
- the user can designate specific folders or items.
- a portfolio wizard can build a webpage that aggregates all of the selected links into a single view, with a unique name for each portfolio. Each user can preferably be able to create an unlimited number of portfolios. Each portfolio can have a name, description, availability indicator, and offer customization options to the user.
- users existing in a learning system such as the Blackboard Learning System preferably also exist in the content system.
- Users of the learning system, the portal system, and the content system can have a generally seamless experience without ever having to re-authenticate.
- the content system can generally seamlessly support all the authentication protocols supported by the Blackboard platform. WebDAV access can require re-authentication and may restrict the forms of authentication possible.
- content system users who have authenticated into the learning system should not have to re-authenticate into the content system.
- a mechanism can be provided to allow existing course content to be moved into the content system.
- a conversion tool can be provided that allows course data to be moved from the learning system into the content system. This is preferably implemented using the content APIs, if possible
- the content system can archive /restore the content stored in the system.
- a content exchange engine can be provided to support archive /restore of "My Content” and “Course Content” into and out of the content system.
- the content system can have a search capability that includes full-text search of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other documents and on the meta-data that accompanies content within the content system.
- the search can be restricted down to an individual's collection but be as wide as the entire system. Search results can be returned in ranked order.
- the System Administrator can effectively throttle the amount of data that can be accessed within any particular collection.
- the content system can preferably measure the amount of data that has been uploaded /downloaded within a variable time period (e.g., day, week, month). The time periods can be flexible enough to support a date range in increments of day, week, or month.
- the content system can have bandwidth reporting capabilities for the System Administrator.
- the content system can provide APIs into metadata.
- an integration agent can be provided that allows instructors to add content from their "My Content” or "Course Content” areas from within the content system. Students and faculty can be provided with areas within the course and portal environment (e.g., Tools) to enter their "My Content” area.
- a building block can be provided that contains a new Content Type with a content address link.
- Launch points can be implemented as System Tools for (a) My Content, (b) Course Content, (c) Institution Content, and (d) My Activities.
- Launch points can be implemented as a Portal Tool and Portal Modules for (a) My Content Module and (b) My Activities Module. Launch points can be implemented as a Course Tool for Course Content.
- One or more new portal module types can be provided that access content from the Content System (e.g., to include an image in the module or link to a Content System file).
- a content catalog is provided that allows users to easily reuse and share content among a broad audience.
- the catalog allows users to electronically search the catalog or browse by category to find content items they might wish to use.
- the catalog can include user facing functionality that allows users to nominate their items for inclusion in internal and/or public catalogs. Users can use the catalog to browse, view and select items therefrom.
- an administrator can have control over catalog categories and availability on the system.
- the catalog is preferably accessible from a content system menu.
- System Administrators can control who can access the catalog, e.g., by the institution role of the user. For example, a school might not allow alumni users to browse the catalog.
- Catalog entries can be found, e.g., by searching for a desired entry using its name or other metadata associated with the entry or by browsing the categories. Category creation is described in further detail below.
- a system administrator can specify who can submit catalog entries, e.g., by institution role. For instance, a school might not allow students to submit entries to the catalog.
- a catalog entry can be created for an individual file in the content system (such as, e.g., a Shockwave file) or an entire folder (which might be used if a web site is the content object). Users can access, e.g., a "Manage Catalog Entries” page from a "Modify” link on any item or folder for which they have manage permission. From this page, they can create a catalog entry, modify an existing entry, or remove their entry from the catalog.
- a catalog entry is a wrapper containing information about a given content item. Users can select a category for their catalog entry and fill in basic information such as, e.g., name, authors, description, keywords and learning objectives.
- All of this information can be drawn from the metadata for the item itself (if that has been filled in), but can be distinct from that metadata. This means that the description for the catalog can be different from the general description used in other contexts. Users can create and manage multiple entries for a single item.
- a catalog entry can be submitted to more than one category.
- Users can create multiple catalog entries for an item or folder.
- Each catalog entry is preferably managed separately by the user, and it can be approved separately by a so called catalog manager. This means that while the item might be rejected for one catalog category, it could be accepted for another.
- the catalog manager can be the system administrator or some other person designated for approving catalog entries.
- the system administrator can grant catalog manager status to other users by, e.g., institution role.
- An institution role can be allowed to be a catalog manager as desired. It may be beneficial for catalog managers to be experts or otherwise knowledgeable in the subject matter in a field when reviewing catalog entries and creating catalog categories.
- the system administrator can create a new institution role for this function (e.g., catalog administrator) and assign that role as a secondary role to those users who should have this right.
- Catalog managers can preferably modify catalog entries from a Manage Catalog Entries page. They can change information about the item including the category to display the item in.
- the catalog entry status can be returned to "pending.” This allows administrators to reclassify or possibly reject this new version.
- Catalog review responsibilities can be shared. Catalog managers can filter and sort entries to distribute review responsibilities according to whatever business rules are appropriate at a given school. For example, a school might have one catalog manager responsible for reviewing entries in the History category and another catalog manager responsible for reviewing entries in the Science category.
- Catalog managers can create a very large set of high-level categories and sub-categories. For usability purposes, however, top-level categories can be limited to 50 or less and subcategories to 20 or less.
- a public catalog of content objects can also be provided. Users can select whether to make their items available in this public catalog when they create catalog entries. Otherwise, catalog entries are available internally only.
- Internal catalog entries can grant read permission to generally all system accounts on the item or folder associated with the entry.
- Public catalog entries can grant read permission to the public on the item or folder associated with the entry.
- an error can be displayed when a user clicks on the catalog entry in the catalog view. If permissions have been removed, the link can no longer be viewable by all system or public users.
- FIGURES 16-22 are sample screenshots illustrating one use case example of how a user (in this case, a college professor) searches for and finds a content item in the catalog and then adds the item to a set of course materials accessible by students taking a course.
- a user in this case, a college professor
- pointer bubbles are used for annotation to provide further description about a particular item or action on the screen.
- rectangular blocks are used to provide information about the scenario or background information used to describe the process.
- FIGURE 16 is an example of a home page of a user (a professor named Elizabeth), which identifies in area 50 courses taught by her. She wishes to add to her course on oceanography an introductory article on the subject. She can then access the content system to look for such an article as illustrated in the exemplary screenshot of FIGURE 17. As shown, she can perform a text search for catalog entries at 60 or browse by category at 62 (and various subcategories).
- FIGURE 18 shows a content item selected by the user.
- FIGURE 19 illustrates how the content item can be linked to the course.
- a check links tool is provided to allow users to verify links to items in the content system.
- Links might break for two primary reasons. First, the item in the content system may have been renamed, moved, or deleted by someone with manage permission on the item. Second, all users (students, TAs, etc.) may not have permission to view the item. (Read permission is generally required, and is automatically added on the item's "Manage Permissions" page when a link is created, but someone may have inadvertently removed this permission.)
- the check links tool helps ensure that course, organization and portfolio users can access content that resides in the content system.
- the check links tool scans content areas and portfolio pages for broken links and reports the results.
- the check links tool is preferably accessible from a control panel of all courses and organizations in the content system or from the portfolio manage page. The system administrator can enable this tool from an administrator panel. Links can be designated as follows:
- the course or organization builder e.g., Instructor, TA or course builder
- portfolio creator can either return to the content system to replace the original file, or recreate the link in the course or portfolio to the new name /location in the content system.
- the tool allows the instructor or portfolio creator to repair the permission error by clicking a "repair” button that can add the appropriate read permission back to the content system item.
- Un-repairable permission error The link to the item (the path) is valid, but read permission does not exist for all course users or all system accounts. Additionally, the user that ran the tool does not have manage permission for this item, so he or she cannot repair the permission problem like in the use case above. The user must contact someone (such as, e.g., the system administrator) with manage permission on the item to add the appropriate permission.
- the check links tool can scan the validity of links in various areas including, e.g., the following:
- FIGURES 20-22 are sample screenshots illustrating one use case example of how a user can use a check links tool in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention in the control panel of a course or organization.
- pointer bubbles are used for annotation to provide further description about a particular item or action on the screen.
- rectangular blocks are used to provide information about the scenario or background information used to describe the process.
- FIGURE 20 is a screenshot illustrating the course tools available to a user, including the check links tool shown at 70. This tool can be selected to verify links in a course to content items in the content system as illustrated in the screenshot of FIGURE 21.
- the screenshot displays content items and the condition of their links at 80.
- the details buttons 82 can be selected to provide further details about the location of the links as illustrated in FIGURE 22.
- the repair button 84 (shown in FIGURE 21) can be selected to repair repairable links.
- one of the preferred implementations of the invention is as a set of instructions (program code) in a code module resident in the random access memory of the computer.
- the set of instructions may be stored in another computer memory, e.g., in a hard disk drive, or in a removable memory such as, e.g., an optical disk (for eventual use in a CD ROM) or floppy disk (for eventual use in a floppy disk drive), or downloaded via the Internet or some other computer network.
