LORE - The Distance Learning Online Repository for Educators

https://lore.fhda.edu/admin.html

LORE Entries / Objects

Information objects are stored as records in the LORE repository database. These objects can be brief descriptions, links, images, lessons, whatever.
  • Category - predefined list, select from menu
  • Topic - descriptive title
  • Short title - displays in navigation bar in formatted list display
  • Details - in HTML format
  • Record number - unique record identifier

Simple reports
  • Show all Alphabetically - links to all objects in the LORE repository are listed in alphabetic order.
  • Show all by Category - links to all objects in the LORE repository are listed by category

LORElink List

LORELink Lists define the order displaying LORE repository objects. This is a quick and flexible system for linking objects into training modules. Each object or page is automatically linked with Next and Previous "buttons" to its neighbors in the list.

A left navigation bar is automatically generated and displayed, providing direct access to all content object pages.

For example, all pages for the Distance Learning Online Orientation are stored in LORE. LORElink provides way to step through them, and access pages directly.

  • record number - used to link to LORE entry object
  • order - control presentation of pages with next/ previous links, navigation bar

LORElink displays
  • Edit - create/maintain entry page, create/maintain link list
  • Report - table of contents list, reorder entries for display
  • End User View - as user will see objects, navigation, headings
  • Admin View - similar to End User View, with link to object edit screen
  • Single Page - handy for reviewing entire content. All objects displayed in order in a single web page, with links to object edit screen.

Future features
  • published flag - off - only admin can see, on - everyone can see
  • link entries - separate field for URL, put description, comments in text field
  • security, ownership, access control
  • search
  • keyword field - xml, context
  • count - accessed
  • where used / how many LORElink lists contain this object
